Next chapter
After having a meal, Lu Xiancheng returned home, and for more than ten days, there was no news from Qin Xiaobing, and gradually Lu Xiancheng forgot about it.
As the autumn slowly passed, the pasture began to prepare forage for the winter, part of which was prepared for the horses, cattle and sheep in the pasture, and more for the thousands of purebred racing horses in the training ground.
This is estimated to be the only time in a year that Lu Xiancheng has the opportunity to participate in labor, and Lu Xiancheng's task is also very simple, driving a tractor. The tractor on the ranch is a big one, four-wheeled, and the largest wheel diameter is more than two meters high, and people can sit on it and see better than any car. The tractors of the ranch are imported from Nagada in the United States, of course, the domestic tractors are also good, but they are a little worse when they are used with some machinery in the United States, and the national conditions are different.
Just like today, behind the six tractors in the pasture is each dragging an RV-sized mowing and baling machine, the tractor pulls this thing from the grass like this, leaving only less than 20 centimeters of grass stalks on the ground, and piles of straw bales every ten meters away, the straw bales that this big guy has walked out of the 'pulled' are not carried by one person, each bale is one meter high, two meters wide and two meters long.
Lu Xiancheng has been working here for two hours without resting, and the yellow tractor is still roaring on the pasture, and the orange baler spits out bales of green grass.
If someone looks through the large glass of the cab, they will find that it is not Lu Xiancheng who is sitting in the driver's seat, but a girl with two small tugging on her head, and the little baby is standing in the cab and manipulating the tractor in a decent manner, waiting for the dashboard connected to the baler to light up, and the little hand will press the button accordingly.
"Daddy! There is a grass chicken nest in front! Mimi stretched out his little finger and pointed ahead, more than ten meters in front of the tractor, Erha was pouting his ass and barking wildly at the grass.
After listening to his daughter's words, Lu Xiancheng put down the novel book in his hand, stretched out his head to look at Erha's movements, and then said: "Stop!" ”。
"Yes!" Mimi happily responded, stopped the tractor, put his little hand in front of his forehead, and gave a military salute.
"Good!" Lu Xiancheng nodded at his daughter, pushed open the door of the cab, and slid down the ladder to the ground, on the right hand of the tractor is less than twenty centimeters of grass stalks, and on the left hand of the tractor is seventy or eighty centimeters of grass, the two are distinct.
Lu Xiancheng, who jumped off the tractor, came to the back of the baler, there was an L-shaped component on the baler, on which hung a huge rattan basket as big as a frame, and a twenty-centimeter small blue was hung next to the big basket, Lu Xiancheng picked up the little blue and then walked towards the place where Erha shouted.
Pushing aside the grass, Lu Xiancheng saw at a glance a pheasant nest made of hay, and the number of eggs in this chicken nest was not small, there were as many as twelve in total. Walking to the edge of the nest, Lu Xiancheng picked up an egg and looked at the sun, and then shook it in his ear, nodded with satisfaction and picked up all the eggs and put them in his little blue, and then picked up the chicken nest, where the grass had been cut.
Lu Xiancheng naturally won't put back the wild eggs in his basket, in the current situation, even if the chicks hatch, it is unlikely to grow bigger, you must know that every mowing and baling is a carnival of nearby eagles, not to mention anything else, just look at the little black that can be seen at any time overhead, you can know that this group of eagles is estimated to have been looking forward to this day for a long time.
The grass in the pasture is very high, full of **ten centimeters, even if it is an eagle's eye in such a grass, most of the time it is not very effective, so the wild and pheasants in the pasture are very active, and with the activity of these things, then things like little foxes and wild minks are also happy.
The only bitter carnivore is estimated to be the eagle, when it was barren before, it was bitter, and there was no rabbit without grass, and now it is the green grass that looks at the sky, or suffering, only at this time, is the happiest time for the sky overlord, because the entire pasture of Gushan is mowing grass, and the twenty-centimeter grass stalk is no matter how to hide a rabbit, or pheasant, not to mention the good food and drink for many years, so that these small things at the bottom of the food chain have a big belly and a round waist and have no action, as long as these things dare to drill out of the grass, Exposing his chubby little body to the ground, the eagle in the sky is almost a catch.
Lu Xiancheng, who threw the chicken coop out, was about to go back, and the sound of pheasants immediately sounded in the grass, and Lu Xiancheng knew as soon as he heard that the owner of these eggs was coming home, and it seemed that he was about to ask for 'eggs'.
Lu Xiancheng was not afraid at all, because Erha had already whined and warned the two 'chickens' who did not open their eyes. For Erha, he is afraid of suppressing evil, and for ordinary pheasants and hares, he is very willing to regain his 'dignity' as a dog from them.
After whining twice, Erha couldn't wait to get into the grass, wanting to show the two guys 'Fa-rectification on the spot' to the master, proving that he had not yet reached the point of 'still being able to eat'.
"Erha, come back!" Lu Xiancheng didn't want to get into the grass, if he was accidentally pressed by the tractor, or was bundled by the baler, he would have no place to cry.
Listening to the call of the master, Erha quickly got out of the grass and honestly ran towards the front along the direction of the cut edge.
Lu Xiancheng carried the basket and put the eggs in the big basket one by one, and now there are no less than 200 wild eggs in the big basket, which is still a day's work, and it is not enough to keep it for his own family, so he can only send a little here and a little there.
As for selling them, the price of wild eggs is usually not bad, usually at this time, the price of wild eggs on the market in Gushan will fall to one-third of the original, and directly fall to the same price as foreign eggs. Besides, this little money is not enough for Lao Lu.
Lu Xiancheng put the eggs in the basket, and then climbed into the cab, before he entered the door, he heard a loud eagle cry, turned his head to see that in the back less than two hundred places, a young eagle just became an adult pressed down a fat hare, and was struggling to lift it into the sky, but unfortunately the rabbit was too heavy, and the eaglet was too young to have enough strength to take away its prey, so he had to drag the hare hard while crying.
"The distress of happiness," Lu Xiancheng couldn't help but sigh when he heard it.
"Dad, let's make it in half and let the eaglet take it away," Mimi said as she looked at the eaglet flapping its wings, even if it had exhausted its strength to eat milk, and it flew to the height of one person.
Rabbits are cute for city kids, but they're a scourge for kids who live on ranches.
Pheasants eat insects, grasshoppers, green worms and the like are all delicious and can protect the pasture, and eggs and chickens can be eaten, which is considered a beneficial thing. The rabbit is not a thing when it is put in the pasture, the rabbit eats grass, and this thing makes holes everywhere, destroys the root system of the pasture, and reproduces very quickly, a full bully thing, I used to hit the rabbit and was happy, now Gushan is almost all pasture, and the rabbit is not a good thing in the eyes of most Gushan people.
The grass is high and dense, the rabbits survive worry-free and eat and sleep well, the number has increased greatly over the years, and now Gushan has stocked a few batches of weasels, foxes and the like to strangle rabbits in the past few years, plus the self-contained halo of the people of the big foodie empire, Gushan rabbits have not become a disaster like Australia. Compared with rabbits and foxes, these things are more positive images in the hearts of Gushan children.
"Forget it, let's leave it alone and keep working, Comrade Xiao Lu!" Lu Xiancheng climbed into the car, closed the door and said to his little girl.
"Yes!"
The little girl smiled again and prepared to start the tractor skillfully.
At this time, suddenly the eagle's cry became a little sad and urgent, the father and daughter turned their heads, and found that in just two or three seconds, the eagle rabbit had undergone great changes, and I don't know where a fox ran out, this fox is not small, the earthy yellow fur is shiny, and at a glance I know that it is in the prime of life, and now it is biting on the rabbit's body and dragging it back, and the eaglet does not mean to let go, and flapping its wings as if it is dead.
Mimi said happily: "Dad, look, the fox has come to steal the eaglet's food!" ”。
The little girl's excitement doesn't look like a four- or five-year-old child at all, the little girl looks at a fox and eagle competition, not only does not have the feelings of the ordinary child's sad rabbit and eagle, but even has a little bit of excitement to dance, in fact, not only Mimi, but the other two little babies of Lu Xiancheng's family are also about the same, the so-called onlookers are not afraid of big things! I said I was going to help Kitty Hawk just now, and now I can't wait to take a small bench and sit down to cheer on the fox.
And Lu Xiancheng, the old man, also reacted very strangely, stretched out his finger and made a silent gesture on the side of his mouth: "Be quiet, don't scare the fox away!" ”。
So the father and daughter just lay down in the transparent cab of the tractor and watched the fox and eagle fighting for the rabbit.
This eaglet is probably also hungry and crazy, if it weren't for this situation, it wouldn't have grabbed this prey with the fox at all, and the average eagle in this situation flew away with a flap of its wings, who would risk losing its head because of a meal.
After a while, even the rabbit and the eagle were dragged to the ground by the fox, the eaglet frantically flapped its wings on the freshly cut grass, and the small grass clippings flew all over the sky, and the fox was taken aback by this situation, and immediately retreated to the side, looking at the eaglet from a distance of four or five meters, and at this time the eaglet had calmed down, and the two eagle talons were so stunned to grasp the rabbit, while looking at the fox and began to peck at the rabbit meat, it seemed that he was ready to eat as much as he could, and the eaglet himself knew that he couldn't resist the fox, If you don't let go, maybe even your own life will be here today.
The fox estimated that he was full or not too hungry today, and now he was standing on the side and observing the eaglet, watching the eaglet peck the rabbit, then he stood up and cautiously pressed towards the eaglet.
As soon as the fox came, the eaglet immediately repeated the trick again, and began to flap its wings violently, fanning a 'grass storm'.
This trick worked very well, and under the threat of the grass wind, the fox took several steps back! Look at the eaglet that is pecking at the rabbit quickly!
Waiting for the grass wind to stop, the fox tentatively stepped forward again, and the eaglety once again repeated, after a few back and forth, because the grass stalk was almost fanned, and the eaglet was always this trick The fox is not afraid, so the fox is getting closer and closer, this time it seems that the fox's target is no longer the unrecognizable rabbit pecked by the eaglet, but the eaglet itself.
When the fox was about three meters away from the eaglet, it suddenly turned around and burrowed into the grass without hesitation.
"Daddy, the fox ran away".
Before Yami's words fell, I saw a huge black figure pounce on the eaglet, and the eaglet fell to the ground like lightning, and a front paw was firmly pressed on the eaglet's wings, and then a large mouth was directly stuck on the eaglet's neck.
"Big Black!"
With a cheer from Mimi, Erha, who was watching the battle from afar, also shook his head and leaned next to a black German pastor. (To be continued.) )
