At the end of June, the weather on the Loess Plateau became hotter and hotter.

After Wang Manyin patrolled the rice field, his head was full of beads of sweat, so he simply went to find a shady place under the earthen dam and laid a plastic sheet to rest.

Yesterday, Wang Manchu took several people from the village to Liujiawan to visit and study. Liu Xiangyang served as the driver throughout the whole process, and it took at least two days to go back and forth.

Without a walk-behind tractor, there is naturally no way to water the rice fields, and Wang Manyin is completely idle. In fact, there is no shortage of moisture in more than a dozen acres of paddy fields, and it can be watered once every three to five days, so there is no delay.

The shade under the earthen dam is blowing, and the wind is blowing.

After a while, Wang Manyin was a little drowsy......

Looking at the sky, it was almost noon, and he was about to get up and go home, but he saw the rhubarb running towards him.

This guy has a big bird with gray-brown feathers in his mouth, and he doesn't know where he caught it. When it sees its master, it immediately puts its prey on the ground, and then wags its tail in a flash.

At first, Wang Manyin thought he had caught a pheasant.

As a result, the next moment, he sat up straight and stared at the prey under his feet with wide eyes.

It has a sharp hooked beak, wide wings, tawny toe claws, and a little blood on the white feathers on the front of the abdomen...... Nima, this seems to be a pigeon tiger!

Pigeon Tiger is the name of the soil near the Shibi Festival, and its scientific name is Peregrine Falcon. If this thing is placed in the future generations, it will be a problem to properly protect the animals and hunt them at will.

Seeing peregrine falcons on the Loess Plateau, Wang Manyin was not surprised at all. Because the original West County was called Diaoyin in ancient times, the origin of the name is "the mountain has many carved holes, so the name is Diaoyin".

There are not only peregrine falcons, but also predatory birds such as grasshopper eagles, golden eagles, and kestrels.

The point is that Rhubarb was able to catch a peregrine falcon!?

Looking at the motionless guy on the ground, Wang Manyin couldn't believe his eyes.

If you want to catch a pheasant quail or something, it will fall within the normal range. The peregrine falcon can be called the overlord of the sky, how can it be captured by rhubarb.

With curiosity, Wang Manyin reached out and pulled the body of the prey, only to smell that this guy was emitting a fishy smell, and the wings and abdomen showed wounds, bleeding pus and blood, as if he had been injured by a spear.

At this moment, a few flies were buzzing around.

And when he checked it, he found that the guy was not bitten to death by rhubarb, and there was a rough breathing sound in his throat. After all, there is the blessing of protecting the identity of animals...... After thinking about it, Wang Manyin decided to throw it into the space for the time being.

Seeing that there was no one around, he disappeared with the rhubarb.

Since I entered the space, I simply prepared lunch early. Wang Manyin cut a pound of bacon and put it in a jar, then broke two corn cobs and stewed them with water.

Then make a fire and add two sour jujube tree roots to the stove. This thing is burn-resistant, and it can burn for at least half an hour.

Since Orchid went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to learn sewing, Wang Manyin's lunch meals are generally solved in the space.

After doing all this, he took the rhubarb home.

Not long after, a customer came to the door, and it was two educated youths from Shuangshui Village.

Their lives are far happier than those of rural members, and they are given 36 catties of food every month, as well as oil and meat stamps, plus 7 yuan for living expenses.

Many parents in the city are afraid that their children will suffer, and they will mail money and tickets every once in a while. ….

So seeing the educated youths coming to the door, Wang Manyin was very enthusiastic, after all, these people are all high-quality customers of the consignment point. Every time I come over, I always have to buy a piece of anise.

Almost all the pastries that Wang Manyin brought back from the commune went into their stomachs.

After dealing with two educated youths, someone came over with half a bag of dried peach kernels.

Then a few broken babies sold scorpions, and there were also eggs to buy salt......

It coped with more than a dozen waves of guests, and almost an hour passed.

After waiting for another half an hour, seeing that no one came again, Wang Manyin locked the door of the cave.

He took a strip of rag in his hand, took Rhubarb and the two cats to the pigsty, and disappeared.

Each time you enter the space, two

The cats were all very excited. The two guys screamed twice, then ran to the edge of the pond and squatted.

Soon, they each caught a fish and went ashore, hid next to it and ate it quietly.

Wang Manyin walked to the stove, only to feel the smell of meat and corn. He picked up the chopsticks and poked it, and the bacon was already stewed very badly.

Before eating, arrange the rhubarb.

Wang Manyin poured a lot of meat and soup into the food bowl, added half a bowl of bran, and threw another nest.

Then he sat down at the stone table and began to eat.

Today, the space conditions have improved considerably. In order to facilitate the needs of daily life, Wang Manyin not only rebuilt the stove, but also made two large stones as tables and chairs by the way.

After eating half a jar of broth with corn on the cob, he got up and walked towards the melon field. Just these melon seedlings, from the beginning of spring to the present, Wang Manyin and Orchid have eaten at least thirty or forty melons. Of course, most of it went into his mouth.

And looking at the situation of the vine seedlings, there should be a lot of fruit.

Wang Manyin picked a melon at random, rubbed it on his coat, and then opened his mouth to nibble on it.

As sweet, as always, the greasy is completely suppressed.

Just as he was about to walk away, he glanced at the watermelon seedlings planted next to him.

However, in more than ten days, the watermelon seedlings have grown to more than one meter long, and buds have grown on several forks. Watermelons should also be topped, otherwise the seedlings will not sit on the melons.

Wang Manyin had operated on melon seedlings in the book before, so he was very familiar with this set of processes. Three or two clicks, clean the melon head.

Later, he went to the scorpion pool.

This is also Wang Manyin's key place, after all, breeding scorpions can be regarded as the only source of income for his family.

Recently, he has stocked two or three hundred scorpions in it.

As soon as they stepped into the sweet potato field, many grasshoppers were alarmed and jumped on their legs and flew up.

Although they are constantly preyed upon by scorpions, their numbers do not seem to have decreased much. This situation was also expected by Wang Manyin.

Because grasshoppers are so capable of flying, a single ditch can't stop them from foraging.

This saves a lot of work, and I don't have to feed the scorpion group every day.

However, for the sake of safety, Wang Manyin deliberately uncovered a few stones to check. The situation is good, scorpions can be seen under almost every stone, and they appear very alive.

Some female scorpions carried a large number of young scorpions on their backs, and when the stone was revealed, they immediately fled in panic. ….

Being able to reproduce indicates that the scorpion has completely adapted to the space environment.

This situation made Wang Manyin a little excited.

The future is definitely to look forward to...... By the beginning of spring next year, there may be thousands or even tens of thousands of scorpions here.

After inspecting the space for a week, Wang Manyin was about to return to the outside world, when he suddenly felt as if he had forgotten something.

Turning his head, he saw two cats barking around a gray-brown guy, and then he remembered that he had planned to eat to treat the peregrine falcon, but he forgot it completely.

After driving the two cats aside, Wang Manyin reached out and shook the wings of the downstream falcon.

I have to admit that this guy's vitality is really tenacious. It's all hurt like this, and it's not even dead.

He found a clean crockpot from the space, filled it with water, and put the prepared rags in it to boil and sterilize.

To be on the safe side, Wang Manyin first tied the peregrine falcon's mouth and toes and claws with ropes. In this way, I am mainly afraid that in the process of treatment, this guy will suddenly wake up and attack himself.

Ready to work, Wang Manyin put the knife under the stove to burn it in order to eliminate the bacteria on it.

Repeat it several times, and the tip of the knife becomes red.

It felt almost like that, so he put it in the jar to cool down.

Then, the official knife was taken to clean up the carrion on the body of the peregrine falcon.

As a result, as soon as he slashed his wings, the guy woke up in pain and struggled to escape. Unfortunately, its mouth and feet were tethered, and it couldn't break free at all.

After a moment, he closed his eyes and passed out.

It took more than ten minutes for Wang Manyin to finally clean up the two places of rotten flesh. It wasn't until blood oozed from the wound that he took out the crushed chloramphenicol tablets and sprinkled them on top.

These medicines were secretly saved by myself when typhus fever occurred in the spring. I have been staying until now, and I don't know if it has expired.

But for this guy, it's better than none of anti-inflammatories.

Next, Wang Manyin took out the boiled rags and dried them, wrapped them around the wound of the peregrine falcon a few times, and tied two dead knots.

There are ready-made wicker cages in the space, which can be used as a nest for peregrine falcons. In order to prevent this guy from dying of thirst and starvation when he woke up, he put half a jar of spring water in the cage, plus a dozen large grasshoppers that were pinched to death.

After finishing the matter, Wang Manyin was completely relieved.

I have done everything I need to do, and I have done my best.

Whether this guy can live or not can only be left to fate.

Since knowing that his daughter-in-law was pregnant, in order to ensure nutrition, Wang Manyin changed his cooking methods.

Before leaving the space, he caught a dozen green shrimp from the pond, planning to make steamed prawns for orchids at night.

I didn't get too much, just enough to eat.

Wang Manyin became the administrator of the rice field, and it was much easier to eat fish.

In addition to the space, it was not too early to see the time, so Wang Manyin walked towards the Dongshan Pass.

In the afternoon, he dug a ditch, and estimated that his mother-in-law would come back soon, so he called it a day early.

When the sound came from the sidelines, Wang Manyin had already cleaned up the prawns and put them on the pot to steam.

Seeing that only Orchid came back, he couldn't help asking, "What about Shao'an, didn't you come with you?"

"Send me to the intersection and leave,"

Orchid replied and sat down in her chair again.

Since pregnancy, the whole person is very easy to get tired. After only walking seven or eight miles, I felt that my waist was sore.

"Tired, you rest first, the meal will be ready soon." I caught a few shrimp in the rice field in the afternoon and steamed them in the evening."

After an explanation, Wang Manyin returned to the stove to make sauce. It's also easy to make, pat some ginger, shallots and garlic, and then put some soy sauce and vinegar on the plate.

By the time he brought the food to the table, it was already completely dark.

The quality of the green shrimp produced in the space is naturally not ordinary, and it does not have a heavy fishy smell.

It's just simple cooking, but the entrance has an indescribable freshness and tenderness.

The orchid retched a few times, and soon ate it with relish. Ever since she got married, she has always felt like a dream and has completely fallen into a blessed nest.

Even if you search the entire Shibi Festival commune, I'm afraid no husband will do this to his wife.
