Chapter 24 Wild Boar Rider Xiao Xinxin
Since the fame of Liujiachong's blood eel as a royal tribute spread, the Bailu River has been visited by tourists and villagers every day. Tourists come here to enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides of the river if they can't catch blood eels, which is always worth the trip.
The villagers came here because Boss Luo was amazed after tasting the blood eel, and offered an astonishing purchase price of sixty-one catties.
Liu Wen plans to wait for this wave of heat to pass, and then take the time to release a batch of blood eels, the living environment of this rare fish is destined to be impossible to have too many of them.
On the morning of this day, Yang Yong and Xue Fang said that they would go to pick mulberries together, and Liu Wen and Qing'er were happy to go. Yang Yong asked, "Where is the best mulberry?" Liu Wen didn't want to answer: "There are two big mulberry trees in the wasteland between the Changgang Reservoir River and the Bailu River, and the mulberries that bear the fruit are the sweetest and most delicious. ”
A group of people walked towards the destination, today there are also many tourists to this wasteland to pick mulberries, Liu Wen Dan whenever he sees the familiar people have to come forward to say hello and send a cigarette, when they come to the front of the two big mulberry trees, Liu Wen's box of white sand also sends out most of it.
"Qing'er and I pick this one, you go to that tree to pick it! Remember to pick the ripe one, the red one is not yet ripe, and the red one is only delicious. After Liu Wen finished speaking, he held the trunk of the tree with both hands, and walked up a few steps with his feet on the tree to successfully climb the first branch, and then grasped the branches above with both hands, and the person was already sitting firmly on a large branch, and the purple-red mulberry was within reach.
Qing'er hugged the trunk of the tree with both hands, her slender legs retracted and shrunk like breaststroke, and after a few rounds, she also successfully climbed another branch, and after a short rest, she climbed the branch that could hold mulberries, and after sitting down, she took out the small bag around her and prepared to pick mulberries.
Xue Fang and Yang Yong under the tree looked at each other with big eyes, and they were both stunned for a moment, it turned out that neither of them could climb the tree. Qing'er laughed softly in the tree, "It's okay! you wait under the tree now, we will come down soon." "You can't throw this mulberry straight down from a tree, and most of it will rot when it falls to the ground.
"Go! You climb up on my shoulder. Xue Fang didn't want to be a spectator like this. Yang Yong stepped on Xue Fang's shoulders and hugged the trunk tightly with both hands, but no matter how hard Yang Yong's feet pushed, even if his face was red and he used all his strength, he couldn't climb up.
"You come down. Let me try!" Xue Fang couldn't hold on, Yang Yong slid down with a disgraced face, and squatted obediently. Xue Fang stood on Yang Yong's shoulder, hugged the trunk of the tree with both hands, and followed the action of Qing'er climbing the tree just now, but he didn't expect to climb the branches of the tree smoothly.
"Hmmm! This mulberry is really sweet!" Xue Fang chose the most ripe fruit on the tree, blew it and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Stupid! Seeing Yang Yong staring under the tree, Xue Fang broke off a string of branches with mulberries hanging on them, giggled and smashed the branches directly on Yang Yong's head.
Yang Yong couldn't care about Xue Fang's teasing, and after hurriedly taking the branch, he happily picked a mulberry and ate it.
Liu Wen saw that the small pocket he was carrying was almost full, so he beckoned Qing'er to climb down the tree together. At this time, it was Xue Fang's turn to be dumbfounded, it turned out that she didn't dare to go down the tree.
There was no way, Liu Wen climbed the tree again, pulled Xue Fang with his hands on it and carefully slid down, Yang Yong under the tree supported Xue Fang's legs with his shoulders, and finally landed safely on the ground.
A group of four people, while eating mulberries, walked slowly home. On the way, I met Deng Hongxia's dog baby, leading Zhang Chichengyang and a few tourists, to the reeds on the other side of the river.
Liu Wen stepped forward to say hello, and heard the dog baby say that he would lead Zhang Chi and a few of them to pick up duck eggs in the reeds. Yang Yong and Xue Fang were also immediately interested, and Liu Wen remembered the delicacy of fried duck eggs he had eaten when he was a child, so he and Qing'er also went together.
Water ducks are wild ducks that like to nest deep in the reeds along the river beaches, mostly in inaccessible and very difficult places to find. The dog baby is very familiar with this area, and since he dares to bring tourists over, he naturally has enough support.
Last year, the dog baby was in this area and found several nesting sites for water ducks. The dog baby took the lead and led the group to a secret place while eating delicious mulberries. A rough looking teal nest full of dried reed leaves appeared in front of everyone, and there were about a dozen turquoise teal eggs in the nest.
Cheng Yang took the lead in picking up the eggs in the duck nest, and when there were still three eggs left in the duck nest, the dog baby stopped Cheng Yang, who still wanted to continue picking up eggs.
"You have to keep two or three duck eggs in this duck nest, otherwise the ducks will never lay eggs again. The dog explains.
"Oh, I see, just like a chicken has to keep an egg in the coop, even if it's just the shell, otherwise the hen won't lay any more eggs in the coop. Cheng Yang nodded suddenly in realization, and then asked excitedly: "Dog baby, is it possible that we can still pick it up after a while?"
After the dog nodded, he led everyone to find five hidden places and found three litters of duck eggs, and a total of nearly thirty duck eggs were picked up. Cheng Yang said that the seeers have a share, since everyone comes to pick it up together, then the duck eggs picked up should be divided equally.
Liu Wen and Yang Yong only took six duck eggs, and they refused to take more, Liu Wen said that three duck eggs in a family were enough to fry a dish. The remaining teal eggs were divided equally with the two fellow visitors.
"Dog baby, is this duck egg delicious?" On the way back, Cheng Yang touched a duck egg and said.
"It's delicious, it's fragrant to eat!" After the dog baby finished speaking, he couldn't help but lick his lips, apparently remembering the taste of fried duck eggs.
"Dog baby, do you think this duck egg can hatch ducklings out?" Cheng Yang suddenly asked this question again.
"This, this, it should be possible! This teal egg should hatch by itself, anyway, I've never seen a teal hatch its own egg. The dog baby said a little uncertainly.
"The duck does not have to incubate its own eggs, it builds a damp nest under the nest, and uses fermentation to generate heat to hatch the eggs. If you want to hatch a duckling, find an old hen in the village to help hatch the eggs, and you should be able to hatch them. Liu Wen explained on the side.
Such a fun thing, how could Cheng Yang miss it, and immediately said that he would find an old hen to help hatch duck eggs when he went back. Yang Yong and Xue Fang also wanted to hatch a few water ducks to feed and play.
Liu Wen led Qing'er and Yang Yong and his wife to Taoyuan together, and found the old man to explain his intentions. The old man said: "There is just an old hen in the peach orchard holding an empty nest, and she can't get rid of it, so it's okay to let the old hen help hatch duck eggs." After a pause, as if remembering something, he continued: "Oh! There are three or four nests of hens hatching eggs in the peach orchard, and these eggs are all of the species of the wild rooster, and I wonder if these hatched chicks will sleep in the wooden house or on the tree at night when they grow up?"
The hens and chicks in the peach orchard slept in the wooden huts, but the rooster and several other female pheasants rested at night on the big camphor tree at the edge of the peach orchard.
When Liu Wen moved the hens over, he just made a few chicken nests to facilitate the hens to lay eggs, and the old man just took over the peach orchard, and he didn't know the details, so these cunning hens took advantage of the loopholes, and waited until they hatched for a period of time, and after being discovered by the old man, it was too late to change, and the chicks in the eggs had gradually taken shape.
The old man stuffed six duck eggs into the belly of the old hen holding the empty nest, the old hen no matter whose eggs it was, as long as there were eggs to hatch, the two paws skillfully clumped the six duck eggs into a ball and happily lay down to hatch the eggs.
Seeing that the peaches in the peach orchard are growing bigger and bigger, the old man is now very tight about the peach orchard, and he stays in the peach orchard except for eating. Liu Wen saw that the persuasion was ineffective, so he had no choice but to let it go.
At noon on this day, when the old man came back for dinner, he said a funny thing, in the morning the old man saw a little girl named Xinxin, riding on the back of a big wild boar. Shouting and screaming as if riding a horse, the strange thing is that the wild boar is so very well-behaved and obedient to say that he will go, and stop when he says.
Liu Wen knew that this teenage girl named Xinxin had a father who was an engineer and a dance teacher who was a dance teacher. The family is also a regular tourist in Liujiachong, and every week, Shin Shin's parents basically drive to Liujiachong for the weekend.
Shin Shin's family also rented two points of land to grow their own vegetables, Shin Shin's family was polite and warm, and the people in the village also liked to deal with their family, and Shin Shin's mother also taught the village children to dance for free!
Speaking of the names of Qiang Qiang and Chubby, it was given by Xiao Xinxin, and it is said that the first person to touch the wild boar was this brave child. This morning, Shin Shin was playing with two wild boars, and suddenly Shin Shin lay on the back of the male boar and shouted, "Qiangqiang! Get up!" Unexpectedly, the wild boar really stood up.
"Go, go forward!" Xiao Xinxin happily hugged the long sideburns on Qiangqiang's neck and shouted loudly, and the wild boar really walked forward very obediently. Xiao Xinxin was very excited to ride the big wild boar on her back, and her excited little face was flushed. The surrounding tourists watched in amazement at this unexpected and taken for granted.
Shin Shin's mother was worried that Xiao Shin Xin would have an accident, and the big wild boar would have a smooth back and would easily fall off. In the end, Xinxin's mother said that Qiang Qiang was tired, and it was okay to ride and play after Qiang Qiang was resting, so she finally coaxed her daughter down.
