My 1995 Small Farm.

The dog at home is becoming more and more sensible.

Not only Heiwa and his brother, but even Erhei and his brothers have matured.

As the Year of the Dog grows older, it gains more maturity and composure.

Many things in the house will naturally adjust and change on their own.

In the past, if the roars of beasts could be heard from the mountains at night, they would call out incessantly.

Even the two black dogs will bark if an uninvited guest approaches their home.

Now, the mountain beast that broke into the house at night has been dealt with silently.

"Exactly! Aren't lynxes supposed to prefer cold and avoid heat? Why aren't they staying in the forest? What are they doing running around outside?"

Chen Ling walked closer and glanced at the strange-looking mountain beast. Its fur was grayish-brown.

Even as it was pinned to the ground by Heiwa's large claws, it still bared its teeth and hissed.

But it's not very big.

It's not even as big as that leopard.

It was quite fat, all fleshy, so much so that its short, rabbit-like tail was no longer visible.

The hooves are also very thick.

"Forget it, it's too dangerous to leave this thing outside. I can't take care of it while it's around. I'd better go inside my precious cave."

Chen Ling was too lazy to put much effort into it.

These wild animals, especially felines, often have abnormal minds, and even if they develop intelligence, it is difficult to change them.

The difference between them and people like Afu and Ashou is too great.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, the village children are playing and having fun, but people are worried about having this thing around.

It's better to keep it in a grotto.

"It's fallen into my hands, I'll raise it as a cat for now."

Chen Ling said he wouldn't put in much effort, and he didn't.

After throwing it into the cave, I directly controlled it with my consciousness and placed it in the environment of the ice field.

That's a suitable place for it to grow.

Then he led the pack of dogs and used whips to drive the geese out of the house.

The bald guy who plays a key role doesn't need Chen Ling to call him at all.

Upon seeing the spectacle Chen Ling had created, it followed suit.

It kept circling and calling in the sky, and soon two more eagles flew over.

After this molt, Ertuzi's overall size is twice as big as before, almost the size of a wild goose.

It was more than half the size of those two eagles.

You should know that Er Tu Zi was originally just a hawk.

Even a small hawk, which is used specifically to catch birds, is only about 20 centimeters in size.

They are agile and can move through the forest, catch birds, and eat small pheasants.

Eagles, on the other hand, can catch rabbits weighing four or five pounds. They are much larger than hawks, typically with a body length of forty or fifty centimeters.

But now it's all reversed.

The bald guy's size exceeded the limit; it was already a size bigger than the eagle even before it shed its feathers.

Now, they're comparable to wild geese.

Both Lynx and Yu Qi'an said that if this guy keeps growing like this, he might end up as big as an eagle.

"call out……"

As soon as Chen Ling blew his whistle, the bald man in the sky cawed a few times, chasing away all the pigeons that had followed him out.

In the mornings, the pigeons at home also like to fly around in the sky with Er Tuzi, which they find very enjoyable.

Now we're going to release the geese.

We must not let them cause trouble.

At this moment, Chen Ling kept whistling.

Use a whistle to command the eagles in the sky.

The bald eagle kept flapping its wings in the sky, and when it cried out, the other two eagles also began to circle and cry out.

The geese on the ground couldn't stay still any longer.

It started flapping its wings with great panting, and while flapping its wings, its two little feet were also running and tumbling rapidly across the wheat field.

This is to help the plane take off.

It's actually not very clear from the ground.

If it were on the water, especially a wide expanse, when these geese churned up the water, creating eddies and swirling patterns, it would be a different story.

That's what you call spectacular.

"Come on, take off!!!"

Chen Ling gave a shout, and the geese began to take off one after another from the wheat field.

The amazing thing is that when they run on the ground, these guys are as messy as geese. But when they take flight, they actually line up in a neat row, like a slanted Arabic numeral seven.

Once they were in mid-air, their formation changed again.

They don't even need to communicate with each other.

They miraculously transformed into a small V-shape.

At this point, Er Tuzi and the two eagles also expanded their flight range.

It's no longer hovering in the sky, making small circles.

Instead, it flies slightly higher than these geese, leading them through the sky.

"Great, this looks really exciting."

Chen Ling's eyes lit up with envy, and he whistled again, summoning the little blue horse.

We rode horses, brought dogs, and watched geese grazing in the sky.

Wow, this is really exciting!

This is much better than when Er Tuzi stood me up.

We traveled through the county town, from west to east, and then from south to north, to Dumb Lake and then to Kuliu County.

They then turned back.

Back in the village, we took a huge detour.

The villagers were already used to Chen Ling's new tricks.

When I see him, I greet him with a smile, chat for a few minutes, and then go back to what I'm doing.

Some went to the fields to pick vegetables, some went to the foot of the mountain to collect firewood, and some went to the wheat fields to continue collecting goose droppings.

The ground didn't freeze this year, so we left a lot of spinach in the field. The leaves didn't freeze and are still edible.

It's cold in the early morning and evening, but it doesn't freeze below ground level, so it's not very cold.

Besides this, there is another benefit.

It's just that collecting goose droppings is now much easier.

In the past, when we collected goose droppings in the autumn, the droppings were wet. Although they didn't smell very bad, they were still filthy and disgusting.

They're all frozen solid now, so picking them up with tongs is quick and easy.

Chen Ling had heard his father tell this story when he was a child.

Sometimes in winter, the geese fly in late, and the goose droppings left in the wheat fields freeze solid to the ground, as hard as wooden stakes.

Those little kids are picking up goose droppings, and even with great force, they can't break them off, and they might even hurt their hands.

The temperature right now, in the mornings and evenings, is just right.

It was frozen solid, but not frozen to the ground; picking it up was like picking up a stone.

Go back and mix the straw flour, bran, and other ingredients with hot water, stir it well, and it's ready to feed the livestock.

"Fugui's come up with a new trick again, letting an eagle follow a wild goose. Aren't you afraid the goose will escape?" someone joked. It was the second son of the Li family in the east of the village.

Chen Ling retorted, "What are you afraid of? If you dare to run away, the eagle is watching. It will catch you on the spot and bring you back for a meal."

"And you're one to talk! You made money this year and got married, how come you're still so stingy? You're out collecting goose droppings this early in the morning; it's almost New Year's, and you don't even know how to feed the pigs something good."

"Oh dear, you don't know, Fugui, the pigs at home have been eating too much. Didn't that old wild boar that came to the village before mate with my old sow?"
Her belly is so big, it looks like she's about to give birth.

Imagine if the kittens were born in winter, it's so cold, they definitely won't survive if they don't eat more.

An old sow really can't stand not eating enough.

If you don't collect some goose droppings and mix them with leftover food to fill its stomach, it can eat four or five meals a day.

It made my mother feel uneasy after eating it all.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ling couldn't help but laugh.

"Just feed them as much as they need. Xiao Fang said he wants these piglets next spring, so what are you afraid of?"

This little lamb is full of energy. Besides following Chen Ling to do some work, he also wants to open up new battlefields for himself.

But this kid is also quite steady.

In early autumn, several sows in the village were killed by wild boars. After three months of autumn and three months of winter, the pigs will give birth.

The villagers were unsure about the offspring of wild boars and domestic pigs.

This has never happened before. I only knew that if a domestic pig ran into the mountains and didn't come back, it would become a wild boar.

I figured she'd probably be mated with a wild boar, and the offspring would also be wild boars.

Wild boars are difficult to raise, don't grow big enough, and are hard to sell, so people are less willing to buy them.

At this point, the little lamb stepped forward, wanting to see how much the meat from these piglets could fetch in a restaurant.

He even consulted Chen Ling.

Chen Ling encouraged him to try boldly, saying that they couldn't all just follow the villagers around like him, raising this and that without any real interest.

We always need to raise some new things.

He doesn't like raising pigs, he thinks they smell too bad, but the lambs are willing to be raised, which is perfect. (End of Chapter)
