Chapter Seventy-One: The Legend of the Locust
Zhang Niu caught two thieves at night in the village was lively, but the two thieves were pitiful, and the duck was not stolen. I took a few paws from the big wolf first. In the village, he received a lot of fists. The police in the town came over, and when they saw it, they realized that it was these two guys again, and they were really dishonest, and this time they really had to lock you up for a long time. The police who came when they walked reminded the villagers that many villages near Zhangjia Village had lost sheep recently, and the cattle told everyone to pay more attention to the faces of foreign people, and not to let people go.
After leaving, the village chief also played a notice in the village committee, repeating what the police had said, so that everyone should pay attention to outsiders. If there's anything wrong, tell the village. Don't throw anything away and run to the village.
Zhang Niu has been busy during the day these days, and of course he is busy with the big thing of spring ploughing. The reservoir also began to release water. Each family is watering their fields and raising seedlings. In the early years, when there was no such big canal, everyone was guarding the edge of the field at night to grab water. Sometimes there are fights. Now there is a canal to release water or something, you can rest assured. The water released from the reservoir is generally put for a week, which can basically meet the needs of each village.
The seedlings at home are also much more advanced, and they no longer have to open a small paddy field and sprinkle grain seedlings every time. Now they are all raised with plastic squares. Apply mud to the lattice, sprinkle the seedlings, and cover with a thin layer of mud. When it is time to sow seeds, it is easier to sow seeds with a square than to bend down and insert them in rows. This has also become popular in the village in recent years.
Ploughing the paddy fields, Zhang Niu's family paid 50 quick money to invite the villagers to plow with big yellow oxen. I wanted to hire the kind of tractor, but that guy's business was too good to have time to help. Time is not in a hurry, you can only find scalpers.
Spring ploughing was busy for more than ten days. Zhang Niu wore muddy clothes and pants to the paddy fields every day. Grasshoppers appear in the paddy fields in the spring. Sucking blood doesn't taste life.
The water locusts in the fields are not very dangerous, but the most dangerous ones are the mountain locusts in the mountains. The rumors in the village are very scary. It is said that a woman came back from the mountains in the past, and there was a little blood mark on her foot on the road, and she did not pay attention to it, and the woman began to have a headache shortly after returning home. Every time I wash my hair with hot water, it no longer hurts. Later, you need to use boiling water to wash your hair. One day, the man came back and found his mother-in-law bent in the basin. The husband, who didn't know the problem, grabbed her head and tried to wake her up. Who knows a light grip. The skull cap is scratched out along with the head. The frightened man screamed there, and when the villagers came in to see, they realized that there was no red or white brain in their heads. There is only a whole nest of locusts full of brains. The man in his family knew why his mother-in-law had to use hot water every day when she complained about headaches.
Zhang Niu heard this story for the first time. Only then did I know that the locusts on the mountain were more powerful than those in the paddy fields. Didn't sleep all night. Water locusts are usually stuck to that foot. And the mountain locust burrows directly into the body and goes straight to the brain along the blood path. Later, when I was young, my parents didn't let my children play in the mountains at the beginning of spring, which is the reason.
On the side of the dirt road in the village. The Shengming family is busy. It seems that the duck shed by the pond is to be raised. Many villagers in the village have already bought back a lot of duck seedlings, and they all want to make a good profit this year.
Zhang Niu just smiled, afraid that the price of ducks would not be as good as last year, and it would be a bit of a loss. But if you think about it, it's all about feeding rice or something, and there's nothing to lose. It's hard to say that they are fed with fodder like Shengming.
This year, Shengmingna is on a big show again, and a pond has also been dug up. It seems that the motivation is also much greater. Last year, his family in the village was good. Selling ducks, selling fish, the price is not very wrong. It also includes chestnuts on the mountain chestnuts on thousands of pounds.
At the big camphor tree at the head of the village, I saw a group of little hairy children gathered around and didn't know what they were doing. The bored Zhang Niu also inserted it to watch. It turned out to be the second dog holding a feathered bird in his hand. Meaty. It's like I'm hungry and keeps opening my mouth.
Ask Ming Ergou to know that it fell from the big camphor tree. Give the two dogs under the tree now. Some of the little furry children next to him suggested taking it back and stewing it and eating it. Ergou was still hesitating, so he showed Zhang Niu, who had just come back.
"Ergou, how about you give me this young bird?"
"Brother Zhang Niu, if you want it, then give it to you! We're all joking, too. As he spoke, he put the young bird in his hand on Zhang Niu's hand.
"Ergou is really good, come here and sell candy to eat," Zhang Niu was not ready to take the bird for nothing. I found ten quick money in my trouser pocket and asked them to buy candy to eat.
"Thank you, Brother Zhang Niu" The group of people ran towards the village commissary.
Their children didn't know what kind of bird it was, but Zhang Niu knew it early on. The big camphor tree at the head of the village has many owls nesting on it every year. There are a lot of hollow tree holes on this big camphor tree, black and deep, and I don't know how this stupid bird fell. Cheaper Zhang Niu.
Holding the little guy in his hand, he directly treated Zhang Niu's fingers as food, pecked with his small mouth, and looked at Zhang Niu's sweat...... This little guy is so funny.
When he returned to Happy Xiaozhu, he put the little bird cub on the table and went into the house to soak rice. The big red fluttering on the treetops landed on the table. Comb the feathers. From time to time, I looked at the fleshy bird cub in front of me.
Zhang Niu who entered the house to soak rice. I didn't see the bird cub still on the table after Da Hong appeared, so I moved to Da Hong's side, and Da Hong just stood there like this. Watching the cub move under its feathers and shake its head, I wondered if this fleshy creature was its kind.
Zhang Niu, who came out, saw that the bird cub on the table was nowhere to be seen, and then looked at the fleshy guy under the big red next to him, and then realized that he ran under the big red feathers.
Soak the soft rice in a few clicks and it will enter the belly of the bird. After a full meal, he retracted under Da Hong's feathers, and it seemed that he identified Da Hong's new mother. Zhang Niu laughed.
Da Hong also lives in a paper nest made of Zhang Niu at night. Take care of the birds. Even Zhang Niu felt that the luck of this bird cub was really not ordinarily good. Big Red usually ignores the other birds. Maybe it's really for the sake of the appearance of the meat.
There is a big red to take care of Zhang Niu, and he is not afraid that he will freeze to death at night, although it is said that it is spring, but he still has to cover some quilts at night. People who are more anti-freeze and Zhang Niu are afraid of the cold,
In the morning, Zhang Niu woke up the bird cub, and blamed Zhang Niu for forgetting that ordinary bird cubs have to be fed several times a day, and they are hungry fast, otherwise the mother bird will not fly in and fly every day to be busy and tired.
It was drizzling outside early in the morning, and it seemed that the road outside the village would be suspended for another day. More than half of the concrete road in the village has been built. It was just repaired to the last time Zhang Niu climbed the slope.
Zhang Niu, who was raining, had nowhere to go but stayed at home, cooked some sweet potatoes in the kitchen, and went to the pond to prepare to catch some fish. It is also easy to catch a lot of fish that come out of the water on rainy days. The deep fish caught last time was finally taken back to Boss Wang to eat.
The first update arrived. At night, it should be either 4k or 6k recommended and collected.
