The early chicks have worms, and when Zhang Taiping got up, there were already chickens and ducks in the yard foraging for food. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info\\qb5.c0m//He washed a little and then picked up the wooden handle and walked towards the field, although his own wheat has been received by the family, but the help is mutual, others have helped you, you should also help others.

After a few days, everyone on the same field collected wheat into their homes, and finally they no longer had to run to the field every day to bask in the sun. In the next two days, Zhang Taiping also planted dried corn in the field with the villagers, and only waited for a heavy rain to germinate and emerge.

At this point, the summer harvest and autumn planting are completed.

"Ah, I can finally rest for a few days." After planting the last acre of land, returning home, Fan Ming said happily. In fact, no one forced her to do anything, but she was curious and involved in everything.

"Well, it's easy for two days." Zhang Taiping lay on the recliner and took the watermelon handed over by Ye Ling and said.

The afternoon is already cool, and eating chilled watermelon is even more refreshing.

"Big brother, why is the watermelon in the yard better than the one in the field outside?" Fan Ming asked while eating watermelon. When she went to the watermelon field yesterday, she found the biggest one in the inside, and put it in the refrigerator for a while to eat it at night, and the watermelons were sweet and juicy, and they were considered top watermelons outside, but Fan Ming, who was raised by the watermelons in the backyard, always felt that there was something missing in it, and it was not as delicious as the backyard.

Of course, it is because Zhang Taiping often waters the watermelons in the yard, but he can't say it like this: "Maybe the yard is often watered, but the outside is not often watered." ”

If Cai Yazhi or Xing Rushui were here, they might be able to guess the reason. For this answer, Fan Ming just said "oh" indifferently, and she just asked casually, without the meaning of delving.

The most beautiful time in the sky is at dusk, when the clouds in the west turn red on the eve of sunset, which some call fiery clouds. As the wind blows, it keeps changing shapes in the sky, sometimes like a tengu chasing the moon, and then like a galloping horse. As long as it is something you can imagine, you can use your own eyes to find what you have in your heart.

Everyone has two sides, Fan Ming, who usually jumps away like a child, is also obsessed with the clouds in the sky at this time, and when she is quiet, she remembers that she is already a big girl, and her hands are folded together and even a little ladylike.

After sunset, it is night, and dinner is millet porridge with two side dishes. One is to pat the cucumber with a knife, wash the newly picked cucumber and crush it with a knife, sprinkle some garlic mustard oil on top, and finally pour it on top with hot oil, which is crisp and refreshing. There is also vinegared zucchini, which can also arouse people's taste with green peppers. At that time, when planting vegetables, dozens of vegetables were planted on almost an acre of land, and the biggest advantage was that it was convenient for one's own consumption.

After dinner, Zhang Taiping walked around the garden with a grimace on his face, and then went into the house to rest.

The next morning, when Zhang Taiping was washing his face, Ye Ling ran over from the backyard and said to Zhang Taiping: "Master, it's not good, something happened in the backyard." ”

Zhang Taiping was slightly startled, stumped and recruited thieves again? Why didn't there be any noise last night? He wiped his face and asked, "Did you lose something?" ”

Ye Ling shook his head and said, "I can't tell what is going on, grandpa asked you to go over and take a look." ”

When Zhang Taiping entered the backyard, the chickens and ducks in the yard were chirping in panic, as if something big had happened. If it weren't for the fact that the other animals had no signs, Zhang Taiping would have thought that an earthquake was coming.

It's just a little strange that the chickens and ducks would have gone out to forage for food at this time, and they would have almost all stayed in the yard as they do today.

The old man was squatting in front of the chicken shed to check the ground, Zhang Taiping walked to him, and the old man stood up and pointed to the ground for him to see. Zhang Taiping squatted down and looked at it, and there was a small pool of blood on the ground, which had dried up.

Zhang Taiping thought about it for a while, combined with the performance of the chickens and ducks in the yard, something may have happened last night that was not good for the chickens and ducks. Anyone who has ever raised chickens and ducks knows that at night the eyes of chickens and ducks are invisible, a bit like night blindness in people, so as long as chickens and ducks are curled up in one place, they will not move, even if they die, they will not struggle.

The chickens raised at home are different from other chickens, and it may be that they sensed something in the morning, so they are so alarmed. Apparently a chick was killed last night.

After standing up, the old man said, "Judging from the bloodstains, it should have been one or two o'clock last night." ”

"Then what does Grandpa think could have been?" Zhang Taiping asked.

The old man stroked his beard and groaned for a while and said, "It wasn't done by people, and it didn't alarm the big dog in the house and the two eagles on the roof, so it was definitely a light way." It's quite possible that it's a weasel, just a little weird. ”

Zhang Taiping understood what the old man said strangely, weasels are called "Wong Tai Sin" in many places, and even some people will worship them, but there is no such custom in Guanzhong, and the weasel is regarded as a pest that must be eliminated, because the weasel has a bad problem, it does not steal one and run away when it steals chickens, but will bite and kill a lot of chickens, which makes people hate it.

Regarding the weasel that the old man said, Zhang Taiping suddenly had a different opinion, because he remembered the fiery red figure that chased Xiao Zi that night, and he also glanced at it once in the strange woods in the mountains.

said to Ye Ling beside him: "You go to the front room and bring Xiao Zi on the cabinet cover." "Maybe this little thing can find something.

Although Ye Ling also came with Cai Yazhi and Fan Ming. Cai Yazhi looked at the chickens and ducks who were still frightened in the yard and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Taiping replied: "Maybe something stole the chicken last night." ”

Cai Yazhi was shocked and asked, "Is it a weasel?" Then he went to the chicken shed to check if there were any chickens and ducks that had been bitten to death.

Zhang Taiping took Xiao Zi from Ye Ling's hand and said, "It may also be a weasel, but it's not very sure yet." ”

Putting Xiao Zi next to the bloodstain, the little guy shrugged his nose and sniffed like a puppy, and then waved his paws at Zhang Taiping a little excitedly. In this way, he was almost certain that the fiery red creature was responsible.

After the confirmation, Zhang Taiping told several people about the situation of meeting the animal twice.

"Grandpa Zhang, what kind of animal do you think this is?" Fan Ming asked the old man after hearing this.

The old man thought for a while and said, "Judging from the size of Taiping's story, it may be a fox, and only a fox has such a fast speed and a light body. ”

was reminded by the old man like this, Zhang Taiping also felt like a fox.

Fan Ming exclaimed in surprise: "Little fox, great! Then he said to Zhang Taiping, "Big brother, grab it." ”

Zhang Taiping shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Do you think foxes are so easy to catch?" Grimaces may not be able to catch up with it in the mountains, and the fox's cunning nature makes it difficult to catch. ”

Fan Ming smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, just try it." ”

Zhang Taiping said: "I will definitely try it, but I don't know what the result will be." ”

During the day, I did some trivial things such as cutting honey and feeding the fish. At night, the chickens and ducks do not want to go into the chicken and duck sheds, but crowd them together under the eaves, which is more dangerous. But tonight is beneficial to Zhang Taiping, so he doesn't care about it for the time being, so that it can lure that thing to appear in the middle of the backyard with a clear goal.

Of course, Fan Ming didn't want to miss such an exciting thing as catching a fox, so she insisted on waiting for the fox to appear with Zhang Taiping.

"Why are we sitting here? If the fox came, wouldn't it be missed? The two sat under the laurel tree in the middle courtyard, and Fan Ming asked Zhang Taiping suspiciously.

Zhang Taiping didn't defend her belief that it was a fox, and said with a smile: "If someone is present, the smell on the person is too strong to hide, if that thing is too scared to come in, wouldn't it be in vain?" ”

"But if we're not in the backyard, I don't know if the fox comes." Fan Ming was still puzzled.

Zhang Taiping pointed to the roof of the back house and said: "Not only are there Xiaojin and Xiaofeng on it, but there are also lions and grimaces hidden in the backyard, and they must have an early warning after the fox comes." ”

Fan Ming was still a little worried: "The lion or the cry of the grimace will definitely scare the fox away, and by the time you run to the backyard, there will be no shadow for a long time, how can you arrest it?" ”

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "Do you really think that thing can be grasped by people with their bare hands?" If I can't catch the grimace and the lion's housekeeping skills, I won't be able to catch it if I go up. ”

Fan Ming didn't say anything, and sat in the courtyard with Zhang Taiping waiting, but it seemed that the fox was very patient, but Fan Ming was impatient.

"Why haven't you come yet?" Fan Ming asked out loud.

Zhang Taiping looked at the time and said, "It's only eleven o'clock, what's the hurry?" If you want to catch a fox, you have to be patient, and the fox is smart. ”

"Okay." Fan Ming said after a few strokes of upper and lower eyelids.

After another half of disappearing, Fan Ming's eyes were almost glued, and he asked again, "Why haven't you come yet?" You won't be here tonight, will you? ”

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "I came last night, and I will definitely come back tonight after tasting the sweetness." If you fall asleep, go back to your room, there is no need to suffer here. ”

Hearing this, Fan Ming opened her eyes suddenly: "Who said I was dozing?" I'll have to wait for this cunning fox tonight! ”

It seems that he is starting to hold a grudge against this fox. Zhang Taiping shook his head with a smile and didn't say anything more. At twelve o'clock, Fan Ming had forgotten his ambition and fell asleep on the stone table.
