Chapter 54 Scarabs

When I got home, I entered the yard.

The chicken feathers on the ground were stained with blood.

appeared in front of two people.

Something happened to the chicken at home!

Wang Susu hurriedly took inventory and found that the old hen was missing one and the chicks were missing about ten. The rest were all hiding in the corner of the henhouse and shivering.

When he saw the two people approaching, he screamed in panic and helplessness, obviously feeling quite frightened.

The two puppies sniffed the lingering smell in the air and barked non-stop.

"Damn it, a weasel is definitely coming."

Chen Ling's face was gloomy, "First he harmed Qin Dongmei's family, then second aunt Wang's family, and this time he came to our house again."

"They must have taken advantage of this opportunity when they saw that neither us nor the dogs were at home, and came to steal our chickens."

Early this morning, the two of them went up the mountain without breakfast, collecting herbs and digging bamboo shoots. They were quite happy with the good harvest, but when they got home, something like this happened.

It's really hard for the two of them to be happy again.

"Aling, the big rooster is nowhere to be found either."

Wang Susu searched around and found that even the big, muscular rooster with bright feathers was missing.

If nothing else, he must have been poisoned by the weasel.

I was both angry and sad for a moment: "We haven't messed with these chicken thieves at all, why do they come to steal our chickens?"

The big roosters and old hens at home have been raised for more than a year. They are reluctant to eat them during the Chinese New Year, but they were killed by weasels.

No one else would be able to bear it.

Chen Ling saw that his wife's eyes were so angry that her eyes were red, and she gritted her teeth and said: "This yellow-skinned guy has caused trouble to several families around him recently, and he will inevitably come again in the future. I will go to Cui Laizi's small shop to buy some rat poison, and he will die with it."

These are bastards."

“Will rat poison work?”

Wang Susu asked uncertainly.

Chen Ling responded affirmatively: "It must be done. You cook the porridge first, and I'll be right back."



After a while, Chen Ling not only bought back the rat poison, but also bought a small piece of fresh meat.

The fresh meat was soaked in Dongtian Creek water and then cut into several pieces.

They were covered with rat poison, or placed on the wall around the chicken coop, or hung on a nearby tree with a rope.

At this time, the two puppies had already smelled the smell, and ran over barking, circling around some pieces of meat, drooling with greed.

"Okay, get up and drive, this is not for you to eat."

Chen Ling drove the two puppies aside, then caught the chicks into a bamboo basket and put them in the house.

Then the chicken coops of the remaining two old hens were covered with wire mesh.

Then we sat down to have breakfast.

"Is this okay? How about we put down two clamps?"

Wang Susu felt that Chen Ling's arrangement was too simple, just a few pieces of meat laced with rat poison. Would someone as cunning as a weasel be fooled?

"Don't worry, it will definitely work."

"As long as they dare to come, these few pieces of meat are enough to make them come back."

Chen Ling took a sip of porridge and said confidently.

After hearing this, Wang Susu asked: "Then are you still going to the county seat today?"

Originally, Chen Ling planned to go to the county town today to sell the medicinal materials and order a batch of fruit tree saplings.

Unexpectedly, there was a weasel in the house, which immediately put him in a bad mood.

"I won't go. I won't be able to get rid of the anger in my heart until these two yellow men are drugged to death."

In fact, she was also worried that if the meat soaked in Dongtian Stream water attracted something else, Wang Susu would not be able to handle it at home.

After all, the Dongtian Stream is very attractive to both animals and plants.

Even the water used to cook porridge from the Dongtian Stream was poured into the Begonia flower pond. It has grown much more abundantly this year than last year. Not only is the fragrance of the flowers stronger, but the flowers are also thicker and fuller.

I opened up a small half of the yard, causing bees and butterflies to fly all over the yard every day.

Chen Ling even suspected that the weasel had discovered something special in his yard.

Otherwise, if he had just bitten Qin Dongmei and Mrs. Wang's chicken to death, why would he have started eating it right away when he arrived at his house?

Most likely I realized that his chicken was more delicious.

In order to make his old hens lay eggs well and let the chicks grow up quickly, Chen Ling always mixed the peanut vines from Dongtian with spinach, minced them, or mixed them with cornmeal or bran.

How can a chicken like this be compared to an ordinary chicken?

It is a normal reaction for a weasel to eat it directly after tasting it.

After breakfast, Chen Ling cleaned up the medicinal materials that needed to be dried and put them in bamboo plaques. He also took out the medicinal materials that were not sold last year and arranged them one by one in the yard to dry.

When we prepare to go to the county seat, we will sell them together.

"Uncle Fugui, are you at home..."

At this time, a few little hairy heads came in from the door.

Chen Ling looked over and saw that Liu Nier was coming with Xizi and the boy from Chen Yuqiang's family in the front yard.

Chen Yuqiang is Chen Guoping's youngest son. Although he is over thirty, he is of a lower generation. When he meets Chen Ling, he has to call him "Uncle Fugui".

However, his child is still young, two years younger than Liu Nier, and his seniority is still unclear. He should be called Uncle Chen Ling, but he is always called Uncle Fugui after Liu Nier.

Chen Ling just followed his call.

"Are you guys here to see the cows again?"

Chen Ling stood up with a smile and waved: "Come in quickly."

After the little buffalo was brought back, it quickly became the new favorite of the little ones because it was all white and cute.

As for Heiwa and Xiaojin, they have grown rapidly in size and have long lost the chubby and cute appearance of little puppies when they were young. The little ones have lost interest in them.

"No, we came here to feed the chickens."

Six Nier and three others walked into the yard, each carrying a wine bottle in his hand.

Chen Ling took a closer look and said, "Oh, where did you catch so many scarab beetles?"

The wine bottle was filled with golden and black beetles.

"Hey, we caught it in the field..."

Liu Nier raised the bottle and handed it to Chen Ling: "Uncle Fugui, look, the chicken will be able to lay more eggs after eating this."

Chen Ling took the bottle and looked at it, and saw scarab beetles crawling around on the smooth wall of the bottle. They were plump and round. Such insects are rich in protein. If the old hen eats them, her eggs will indeed change.

Have to be more diligent.

"Why don't you take it back and feed it to your chickens?"

"My chickens don't need this. I catch a lot of them on my way home from school every day."

Liu Nier sniffed and said, "Xizi's bottle is Hei Laobao, which was caught for her grandfather's chickens. The beetles of Xiaomori and I were fed to Uncle Fugui's chickens."

Hei Laobao is a black scarab beetle, its scientific name is Dark Scarab. Because of its black body, it was nicknamed Hei Laobao.

The little girl's face suddenly turned red and she said, "Uncle Fugui, I will catch some insects and give them to you next Sunday."

Chen Ling touched the little girl's head and said with a gentle smile: "No, there was a weasel in our house this morning. There are not many chickens left. Just take them back and feed them to your grandpa's chickens."

"

"Ah? Weasel, isn't that Wong Tai Sin?"

The faces of the three little kids changed. It was obvious that they had been influenced by adults and had heard the legend about Wong Tai Sin.

"Weasels are nothing to be afraid of. In fact, they are considered beneficial animals. They are good at eating rats. They are grudge-minded and have a strong desire for revenge, which is why people dare not provoke them."

"Actually, as long as there are dogs at home, weasels generally don't dare to come to the house."

Chen Ling gave children popular science tips.

"Is it really?"

"But I heard from my grandpa that someone in Kinmen Village killed a yellow fairy queen, roasted it and ate it. As a result, within half a month, he suffered retribution and died in front of his house."
