Chapter 142: Ginseng Doll
Zi and the others walked around the horseshoe ditch all morning and circled the approximate TTT of the frog field; It is much larger than the sub-imagination, more than two miles wide and three miles long. Then, the group officially returned.
Sitting in the carriage, the fat man discussed with the owner of the car: "Do you think there should be a fence around this frog farm?"
"Of course, we have to surround it, otherwise in this month, most of the Hash toads will run into the woods, and if they don't come back in the autumn, it will be in vain. Wang Sanpao said first.
"In this way, our frog farm has to be extended to part of the forest, and the area has to be expanded. "The fat man is far-sighted, since he wants a pristine forest frog, how can he do it if he doesn't enter the forest. Only in the case of simulating the original ecology can the real forest frog be bred with "condensing the essence of the mountain forest, drinking the nectar of the clear spring, eating hundreds of insects, and hibernating in ice water".
"How should this fence be built?" The fat man only knows macro control, and the specific details need to find professionals, so in the eyes of some people, it is a bit of a hands-off shopkeeper.
"How about using a boss?" suggested the old man. He was talking about digging up large rectangular clods of earth in the swamp. Because the soil has fine grass roots, it will not loosen, just like natural adobe, and many families in the countryside use it to build courtyard walls.
When the fat man heard this, he shook his head again and again: "This method is too destructive, and once the turf is destroyed, it will not be slowed down for several years." ”
"Then use stones. The car boss blew up a loud whip in the air, and then said confidently.
"I think it's not a one-shot deal, it's a one-time deal. Uncle boss, how high can this forest frog jump?" The fat man still agrees with the idea of the boss of the car, but he doesn't know how big the project is, in case he makes a circle of the Great Wall, it will not be worth it.
How high can a toad jump, a meter of the fence is enough. However, it is better to have a cornice on top, which is more secure. "Although the car boss has never used the forest frog in a high jump competition, according to his experience, although the hash toad often jumps, it can't jump very high.
"That's a lot of work. "The fat man estimates that the enclosure movement just now is just a swamp area, and the total length is about five or six miles, plus the extension part of the forest, it will only be longer than this, and together, it will definitely be ten miles away, which can be called a big project for the backers.
Back to the village. Immediately ask the captain to sum this up. But now the fruit harvest is about to be harvested. and they will go up to the ground to harvest wheat. The project had to wait until after Mai Qiu to start construction.
The fat man rolled his eyes. Make a suggestion: "Send two idlers over now." Let's start with a horse fight. Just watch it there during the day. The two work shifts. Guard the horseshoe pit on the side of the road first. I think there's a lot of toads in there. ”
Boy. There are so many waterfowl. The fat man put those little ones in there. If no one is watching. I guess I have to feed the birds.
"It's okay to be in such a hurry? Tomorrow, I will send two old men to squat first. Boss, you pull a few logs. Pull some more grass. Build a shack for a while. I don't live there anyway. Shelter from the wind and rain. "Captain Lee is very supportive. Let's settle this matter.
"It's better to buy some goose chicks. Start early. If you see a goose farm in the meadow. The goslings are sure to grow happily. "Fat people have a feeling that they can't wait for me. I can't wait to eat a fat man in one bite.
"I can't buy much now. Let's just wait for the autumn to catch together. And I don't think there are many of our communes. If you can't get it, you can get the county food company. "Captain Li is relatively steady.
"Cheng, anyway, the old revolution seems to have a good relationship with Manager Zhang of the food company, so if we can't make it, we can still play white slips. The fat man smiled, remembering the last time the old revolution rode into the city, and he participated in Cheng Lei in one fell swoop, quite chivalrous, and it should be no problem to buy some geese.
"Fatty, you still dare to play a white strip, and if someone asks you to force you to pay a debt, what can you do!" the car boss laughed.
"We're all one now, and if you ask me for an account, you won't be able to run. Of course, the fat man could not tell him to gloat, and immediately tied him to a rope as well.
When Lele came home, the fat man saw that the small quilt on the kang was spread again, and Qiqi was putting the wild duck eggs one by one, and there were forty or fifty of them, most of them were green, but there were also white ones.
"Uncle Fat, how many days does it take for the ducklings to hatch?" Seeing the fat man return, Qiqi said what he was most concerned about.
"It seems to be longer than a chicken, a chick takes three weeks, a duck takes four weeks, and a goose is said to be a moon. "The fat man hasn't been in the countryside for a year in vain, and he knows a little bit about it.
Qiqi rolled his eyes, and suddenly grinned: "I don't think it will take that long, these duck eggs have been hatching in the wild for a long time, maybe, tomorrow there will be ducklings out of the shell." ”
The fat man thought about it, and just about to tease her a few words, the old revolution came back, and when he saw the quilt on the kang head, he was surprised: "What's the matter, I started to hug the nest again, didn't I sleep on the hot kang again?"
"This time it's a duck egg. Kiki said proudly, "We picked it up on the meadow."
The old revolutionary took off his hat and slapped it twice on his hand, then frowned: "Can it be done, if the wild duck grows up, spits and flies to the sky, and never comes back, aren't we working in vain?"
The fat man touched the back of his head: "Qiqi is here, it should be fine, right?"
God, early in the morning, there were really a few duck eggshells that began to crack, and then they just had 7 flat beaks, I really don't know how much strength it takes to peck at the eggshells with such flat beaks.
"Ducklings are amazing. Kiki cupped his cheeks and boasted.
"There is no force that can stop life from coming to this world. The fat man's heart was also a little touched, and after he finished speaking, he inadvertently looked at him with a strange braid, and it seemed that he couldn't imagine that his fat brother could say such profound words.
The fat man said babblingly: "What, Xiaoyu, give us some sugar cakes in the morning, and we will go into the mountains today to see if we can try our luck and get some ginseng fruit or something." ”
He didn't call Qiqi directly, the little girl's mind is unpredictable, she watched the duckling come out of the shell and was coming hard, as soon as you called her, she couldn't do it.
"Uncle Fatty, I'll go too. Sister Xiaoyu, you take good care of Little Duck Duck. "It's still a big temptation to go into the mountains, and Qiqi still has to follow the fat man into the mountains in the end.
"You big and young, you've all run away!" the big pigtail reprimanded them with a smile, and then went to meet them.
The fat man discussed with Lao Yaozi, and finally decided to bring the tent, he actually had a careful eye in his heart: it is best to choose the location near the radar station, I will see who dares to go there to dig ginseng secretly.
After breakfast, Wang Sanpao was called, and the three adults led a doll out. Clumsy followed to the gate, was thrown back by the fat man, and then closed the door, so angry that the little clumsy sat on the ground and snorted.
As soon as he left the village, a loud eagle's cry sounded in the air, and Xiaobai's figure appeared. This guy has been elusive recently, he has been in the mountains for a long time, and he only occasionally shows up at the fat man's house, according to the fat man's guess, the only thing that can have such a great charm is that this guy finds a companion - what, I don't know if Xiaobai is male or female.
But the fat man estimated that it was male, or how to call it an "eagle".
Lao Yaozi saw that the eagle above his head was always spinning, and he was a little strange: "Fatty, what's the matter with this guy?"
The fat man laughed evilly: "This old harrier saw you, an old medicine man, found a companion, and thought about it." ”
Wang Sanpao also laughed twice: "Don't listen to the fat man's, this Hai Dongqing is raised by Qiqi." ”
"Wouldn't it, Hai Dongqing has the strongest temperament, and it will also be with people?" Old Yaozi was suppressed again, and after finishing speaking, he shook his head again: "Anything can happen to this little girl." ”
Entering the forest, the fat man pointed with his hand: "Let's walk along this path, pay attention to search the woods on both sides, Qiqi, you and Grandpa Lao Yaozi are over there, I and your third grandfather are here, let's go hand in hand." ”
"This road leads to the radar station - good idea, or fat man, you have a heart. Wang Sanpao suddenly realized and understood the fat man's intentions.
So the soldiers divided into two roads, and the two sides were two miles away, and slowly moved forward. Even with the special abilities of the fat man and Qiqi, they launched a large-scale search with all their might, and until noon, there was not a single old ginseng tree.
The fat man is not in a hurry, after all, this journey has not yet entered the old forest, there are more people passing by, and the probability of ginseng appearing is much smaller.
After a simple bite of food, I rested for a while and continued on my way. Although it was the height of summer, there was no feeling of scorching heat in the forest, and it was cool and comfortable to walk through.
Gradually walking into a large forest, the fat man was concentrating on searching, and suddenly heard a strange cry from there: "Found it, I found it!"
The fat man and Wang Sanpao hurriedly ran over, only to see Qiqi and Lao Yaozi squatting beside a bush, and there was a small empty field in the center of the grass, and a ginseng plant stood there, full of small red fruits, like a cluster of bright red bells.
The old medicine is carefully observing the leaves, and experienced ginseng pickers can judge the approximate age of the ginseng by the leaves on the ground.
"Yes, it should be more than ten years. It is said that the lifespan of ginseng can reach four or five hundred years, and this ten years can only be regarded as a ginseng doll. "The old medicine hasn't picked ginseng for several years, so he looks extremely excited.
"Ginseng doll, is it a little doll with a bun and a red belly pocket?" Qiqi had read in a villain book, and the ginseng doll painted on it looked like this. And it is said that as long as he ties a red thread, he can no longer run, nor can he be deformed, he can only be dug out.
"Haha, no matter what ginseng dolls, it's just a story. The fat man said with a smile.
"No, there really are ginseng dolls. The old medicine man said solemnly.
Seeing that his demeanor didn't look like a joke at all, the fat man couldn't help scratching the back of his head: "Uncle Yaozi, have you seen it?"
Qiqi also stared at a pair of big watery eyes: "Yes, where is there a ginseng doll, I'll go and play with him." ”
The fat man secretly admired in his heart: "It's amazing, I still want to find a ginseng doll to play, but it is said that the ginseng doll can deal with birds and beasts in the mountains, from this point of view, Qiqi really has the meaning of a ginseng doll."
Lao Yaozi straightened up and touched Qiqi's little brain: "You are a ginseng doll, let's come over there, you came from afar, if it weren't for a ginseng doll, how would you know that there is ginseng here!"
