"How's it going, Fugui? You've been holding the net all day long. Did you catch any wild pigeons?"

Ruirui and a group of little kids were causing trouble in the ant nest under the tree. The villagers rushing to the meal place stared at Chen Ling's two big bird nets and asked.

"No, I haven't seen many wild pigeons. I haven't bothered to squat in the past few days, and I haven't caught any in the net..."

Chen Ling originally wanted to use his two little pigeons as pigeon lures to lure wild pigeons to the bird net, but this requires someone to stay guard.

He hasn't put much thought into this aspect in the past few days. Of course, this is also the reason why there are fewer wild pigeons than other birds.

If they were as diverse as the turtle doves, and there were a large group of them all at once, he wouldn't have to worry about it.

Wang Lixian said: "Actually, there are many wild pigeons. These guys fly far and change places frequently. They rarely look for food in one place. They also like to fly in the sky. There are groups of more than ten in the morning and dusk.

, twenty of them...

At this time, the wheat is almost ripe, and they also come to eat the wheat, but they are much more sophisticated than the silly pigeons, and they usually avoid people there."

"That's right."

Chen Ling nodded, thinking that it seemed like he had to squat early.

"Haha, Li Xian still understands this... There are so many birds here, Fugui, and basically all kinds of birds are there. Why are you specifically looking for the wild pigeon net? Is this thing valuable?"

"Well, I can't say whether it's valuable or not, and I haven't even asked. I just keep it for fun. I want to train it into a homing pigeon. If you want to raise it, just follow me online."

"Ah, we can't raise homing pigeons."

Upon hearing this, many people's minds became dull.

Are pigeons said to be difficult to raise? It is not difficult to raise pigeons, but there are not many of them in the mountains.

Moreover, if there are too many pigeons, they like to land on the roof. If their claws are not honest, they will turn over the roof tiles, which will cause trouble when it rains heavily.

Raising chickens and ducks is not uncommon here. I have never heard of anyone raising pigeons. Only people like Chen Ling who have more leisure time can raise pigeons.

The adults were chatting, and Yaya hurried to Chen Ling's side, raised her little head and complained loudly: "Uncle, Ruirui is not good at hygiene again. He peed in the ant nest and mixed urine with mud."

When Chen Ling heard this, he quickly turned his head and looked over.

But Wang Lixian and the others didn't care, and laughed loudly: "What about urine mud? Who hasn't played when you were a child? You are anxious to see wealth."

When Chen Ling saw that his son was kneading clay with a small wooden stick, he looked away with relief and started laughing.

Indeed, the little baby only cares about playing and does not care whether it is clean or hygienic.

"Okay, Yaya, take him to wash his hands later, and I'll take you to the village to play."

Chen Ling touched the back of the little girl's head and smiled slightly.

Zhao Dahai and Shanmao went to the village to find someone to build a thatched house.

He happened to be going to find Chen Sangui to build some beehives later, and he could take the children to play with them on the way.

But before they were ready to leave, Zhao Dahai and others came over with people.

I'm going to the mountains to cut bamboo.

Chen Ling thought that if he went to the mountain, he would go to the mountain. So he picked up his son, called a bunch of little dolls, and followed him.

"I'm going too. It's the Dragon Boat Festival. I should make some baskets and get some new bamboo chairs and go to the county town for the temple fair." Chen Dazhi put down his rice bowl and followed him.

He is a bamboo craftsman, and of course he can also be called a bamboo craftsman. He specializes in making daily farm utensils from bamboo, including brooms, baskets, tables, chairs and benches.

In the spring, I also helped Yu Qian and others weave bird cages, and the craftsmanship was very exquisite.

When there are big fairs and temple fairs, they will set up stalls to sell.

"Oh, maybe Dazhi said I've forgotten, my bamboo plaque is also broken. Last year when we were drying wolfberry, a group of bastard magpies fell off the roof. I'll go chop some bamboo to make two pieces.

indivual."

As soon as Chen Ling and Chen Dazhi set off, others followed to join in the fun.

Someone on the road also asked: "You also contracted the Fugui bamboo forest, right? With so many of us going up the mountain, why don't we do bad things for you?"

"Haha, it's okay. Many of you have never been to the bamboo forest. It's such a big area. Besides, bamboo is just cut and used. As long as you don't dig up the roots, what can happen?"

As for bamboo, as long as the bamboo whips growing underground are still there, even if all the bamboos on the ground are cut down, they will grow back in a short time.

What's more, in such a large bamboo forest, there are so many tall and old bamboos that they can't use a few.

If you don't go to Shanzhong Lake, there are many bamboo bushes in Shitougou on the west side of Beishan Mountain, where Chen Ling first encountered the red muntjac.

However, those bamboos are relatively thin, about the same size as a human finger, and are generally suitable for building trellises for fruits and vegetables, or for inserting small fences in vegetable gardens.

As serious building materials, bamboo weaving and the like are not used.

There are many types of bamboo, but they can grow taller but not thicker. Depending on the thickness of the species, they can only grow so thick.

So the bamboo on the side of Lake Yamanaka is better.

"No wonder the old men from our two families like this place. The scenery here is great. It's so hot in the village in the afternoon. This place is similar to the Fugui Family Farm. It's very cool and has a lake view."

When they arrived at Shanzhong Lake, Shanmao held a woodcutter in one hand and said with his other hand on his waist.

Zhao Dahai nodded beside him: "That's right, if it were me, I would also live here in the summer."

Just as he finished speaking, a splash of water suddenly appeared on the edge of the lake, which startled the fat man, "Oh my god, what is in this water? Is there a water monster in this lake?"

"What a water monster? It's a big old turtle, laying eggs by the water." Wang Lixian used a stick to push the grass on the shore of the lake and said calmly.

Then he said to Chen Ling: "This Savage Valley used to be bottomless, but now it's full of water. I can't tell what's in it."

"Yeah yeah."

Chen Ling also agreed upon hearing this.

In fact, this is the old turtle he released, the turtle's son and grandson.

I just didn't expect that just a few days after being released, he would start laying eggs.

"That head is quite big. Why don't you come over and catch it at night? Go back and make turtle soup, and give it a nest of eggs too?" When Zhao Dahai heard that it was a big old turtle, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up and started to flow.

Saliva.

He heard from Chen Ling that it was easier to catch the old turtle that lays eggs at night, because it didn't lay all its eggs at once.

Moreover, old turtles are more cautious during the spawning period and usually come out to lay eggs at night.

Just guard the place where the eggs are laid and wait for it to come. It's best to catch it at this time.

"You know how to eat. You've been in the mountains for so long and you still don't know the rules."

The lynx kicked him: "If you don't kill Xia Tian's mother, you won't kill her cubs. What's more, you can't kill such a big old turtle."

"Hey, I'm not joking."

Zhao Dahai chuckled. Later, he walked to the bamboo forest and said, "Do I have to cut some bamboo upwards? If I cut it too close to the root, it will be easy to hurt it."

Everyone laughed now, and Chen Ling also patted him on the shoulder and said: "Learn and use it, Brother Dahai, but the bamboo is fine. As I said, don't dig up the roots and you won't be afraid."

Then he put Ruirui down and asked them to play with the little kids at a distance.

He also carried a chopping knife and picked out a suitable piece of bamboo. Then he raised the knife and brought it down with his sword. With a click, he cut down a large bamboo with a large branch and leaf at the top.

Maybe there were so many people coming and there was a lot of commotion, but until they came down the mountain carrying bamboos, the two mountain donkeys never showed up.

"There are a lot of red-billed jade birds here... Huh? What kind of bird is that? It looks like a big fool. Why is it wandering around here alone?"

"Qingzhuang, this thing usually lives alone."

"Well, yes, some of them often go to the small river behind my farm to eat fish and are too lazy to care about them."

Although there are many water birds, the water usually has a strong smell, so Chen Ling is too lazy to catch them. He can just watch them on weekdays.

However, during the breeding season, waterfowl are more annoying than other wild birds because they call non-stop and are quite noisy.

Fortunately, it doesn't take long, and it becomes interesting once you get used to it.

Just as I was talking, I just walked down from Beishan, and there was a lot of excitement in the orchard.

A big grass-yellow cat jumped out of the grass like lightning with a gray waterfowl in its mouth, followed by a group of geese chasing fiercely with open wings.

"Oh, your big goose is so fierce, it dares to chase away the raccoons." Wang Lixian shouted.

Chen Ling's eyes narrowed, "This mountain raccoon is always here to steal chickens and dogs. Last winter, when there was no food after the snow, he ate all the cabbage in my vegetable cellar and the steamed buns in the kitchen."

"Good guy, so wild."

"Yeah, I'm very hungry..."

"Lingzi, something came over and made the goose make a fuss."

Wang Cunye took a sheep whip and led a group of big dogs with their tongues sticking out and sniffing around with excitement on their faces and rushed over eagerly.

"The mountain raccoons came to catch waterfowl, and the geese were frightened."

Big geese are quite ferocious. If kept at home, they can look after the home and yard, and can also protect against rats and weasels. However, if you keep them at home, you generally cannot prevent them.

In other words, Chen Ling's family raises a lot of geese. If something comes to their territory, they will chase after it like crazy.

Wang Cunye was stunned: "Isn't it still the big thieving cat?"

"Well, it looks like it's him." Chen Ling was also helpless. That fat, sly cat was closely related to his family, and the two litters of mountain civets in the orchard were the offspring of it.
