Chapter 69: The Wild Boar Trail
"Yang Yang is back, we thought you would come back in two days", Liu Gang saw Li Yang and said with a smile.
Li Yang explained, and then briefly introduced Lin Zhenxiang and Lin Youjun.
"Uncle Liu, what are you looking for here?" Li Yang asked.
Liu Gang's face instantly became serious when he heard this: "In the past few days, we have found a lot of footprints of wild boars, and we are worried that there will be a large group of wild boars here, so we are ready to look for them."
"Boar footprints?" Li Yang was shocked when he heard this, he didn't pay attention when he came all the way just now, and patronized and talked to Lin Zhenxiang and them.
Liu Gang nodded, "There are everywhere around the canal, and there are traces of trampling in some other places, we estimate that there should be a lot of wild boars here."
"Are there a lot of wild boars here?" Lin Zhenxiang asked in some surprise.
"It's been a lot in the last two years, but it's rare before," Liu said.
Lin Youjun was excited, wild boar, this kind of thing that I have only heard about in textbooks, if I can see it alive, it will be really good luck.
"And what are you going to do?" Li Yang asked, if there really is a large herd of wild boars, it will have the greatest impact on him.
"We're following the trail now, and if we can find where they're hiding, we can find a way to drive them into the mountains," Liu said.
"Is it possible for these wild boars to come down the mountain?" Li Yang asked.
Liu Gang nodded, his face was a little solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "It is very likely, the weather has been extremely cold in the past few days, and it has not snowed for several years, I estimate that these wild boars are preparing to go down the mountain to forage."
"In recent years, there have been more and more large animals in the mountains, and food is very scarce in winter, so it has become inevitable to go down the mountain to find food," Wang Dali explains.
"Can you estimate the approximate number of wild boars?" Li Yang asked.
Wang Dali pondered for a moment and said, "Judging from the footprints, there are at least seven or eight heads, and if the few footprints we find are not made by a wild boar herd, the number is at least ten."
More than a dozen wild boars, if this goes down the mountain, it is definitely a very serious matter, if they can't be stopped before they go down the mountain, then Li Yang's vegetable field may face a devastating blow.
"Don't worry too much, at the moment, these wild boars have no plans to go down the mountain, and we are just in case," Liu Gang said.
After this incident, Li Yang didn't continue, and went back with Lin Zhenxiang.
Li Yang didn't tell everyone about this news for the time being, and he still needs to wait for Liu Gang and them to come back with new news.
When he returned home, Li Yang found that Lin Keke, the girl, didn't know where to get a small iron fork, with a few slices of meat on the wire on her face in the middle, and put it on the stove to roast and play, and after it was done, she shared it with Wang Ziqi.
The two of you have a piece of me, and the food is quite happy.
When Lin Youjun saw it, he immediately joined in.
"Qiqi, don't eat too much, be careful of your stomach", Li Yang squatted beside Wang Ziqi, touched her little belly and said.
"Got it, Dad, I won't eat too much", Wang Ziqi nodded his little head, but continued to stuff a small piece into his mouth with his hand.
"It's okay, a little bit, I'll watch," the mother said with a smile from the side.
The meat was not finished at noon and mixed with seasonings, so it was grilled and eaten.
"Brother, do you want it?" Lin Keke took an iron fork, went up from a wire in the middle and handed a piece of meat to Li Yang.
Li Yang unceremoniously took it and put it in his mouth.
"Hmm", Li Yang felt that the taste was not bad, and gave a thumbs up.
"Where did you get this?" Li Yang asked curiously looking at the iron fork in Lin Keke's hand.
Lin Keke pointed to the figure of the uncle in the distance, "Grandpa helped me get it."
Li Yang nodded, sat down with Lin Xue and whispered a few words, and then the two came to the house.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xue asked softly.
Li Yang took out a stack of money from the room, put it in Lin Xue's hand and said, "Here are five thousand yuan, you help me get it to my uncle, just say that it is the salary for the villagers during this time."
"Shall I go?" Lin Xue said with some hesitation.
"Yes, you are my person, you will always have to deal with everyone in the future, if I go, the uncle will not accept it, you have to find a way to let the uncle accept it", Li Yang said.
Lin Xue nodded, put the money away, and prepared to go later.
Li Yang took Lin Zhenxiang to the medicine field under the dam.
This medicinal land was made by Li Yang before, and it was only half an acre, and it was planted with Tianqi, gastrodia and ginseng.
The three medicinal herbs are now bald and have a certain foundation for growth.
Lin Zhenxiang looked at each medicinal herb carefully and asked about Li Yang's cultivation process.
"The growth of these medicinal herbs is very good, even very good, it seems that their growth rate is slightly faster than that of ordinary medicinal herbs, after all, the activity is also greater, you look at this", Lin Zhenxiang said, pointing to a ginseng.
There are only a few seedlings left in this ginseng tree, but it is still green.
"At this time, there are basically no cotyledons, but these ginseng are still some green, and it looks like the underground ginseng should be well stocked, which is also your high-tech one?" Lin Zhenxiang looked at Li Yang with a smile on his face.
Li Yang nodded without concealment, and said with an embarrassed face: "This technology is currently only in the experimental stage, and it can't be secret, so."
Lin Zhenxiang was a little disappointed, he was a little moved after seeing the growth of these medicinal materials, and wanted to learn something from Li Yang, or get something.
However, he admitted that Li Yang's words also have some truth, if such a technology is really known to be leaked, the consequences may be very serious.
He didn't want to rely on this thing to save his life at the moment, and if his future son-in-law lost the ability to survive because of this, then he would blame himself very much.
It was getting dark, and the work on the hut was completely over.
The wages of the workers were paid by Lin Xue personally, and in the end, the uncle collected it, originally saying that it was casual, but what Li Yang gave was absolutely enough.
In the evening, everyone went back separately and didn't stay to eat, after all, there were guests in Li Yang's house, and everyone left with great interest.
I was going to eat at Diba, but the wind was too cold at night, so I ended up moving to a wooden house.
As for the stove, it can only be left at the door, and it is still too dangerous to take it in.
The fat and balls are not on the edge of the stove, and that's what they keep warm.
If a fire does not need to be coaled, it can be burned until at least two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, and as for the second half of the night, it can only be a little colder.
Although Li Yang also thought about letting Fat Fat and Qiuqiu live in the house, but in the end he still didn't do it, after all, a dog is a dog, you can't treat it exactly like a person, and you have to distinguish it.
In fact, the dog house is also very warm and not airy, and Li Yang has put a lot of warm clothes in it, so that they will not freeze.
