Chapter 54 Scarabs
Back home and entered the yard.
The chicken feathers all over the ground were stained with blood.
Presented before the two of them.
Something happened to the chicken at home!
Wang Susu hurriedly counted it and found that one old hen was missing and more than a dozen little chicks were missing. The rest were all hiding in the corner of the chicken coop and shivering.
When they saw the two of them coming, they screamed in panic and helplessly, obviously they were quite frightened.
The two puppies sniffed the scent left in the air and kept barking.
"That's a damn weasel is definitely coming to the door."
Chen Ling's face was gloomy, "First harming Qin Dongmei's family, and then Wang's second aunt's family. This time I came to our house again."
"I must have seen that we were not at home and we took advantage of this loophole to steal our chickens."
Early this morning, they went up the mountain without breakfast. They collected herbs and dug bamboo shoots. They were originally very happy to get a good harvest, but this happened when they got home.
It's really hard for the two to be happy anymore.
"A Ling, the big rooster is nowhere to be found."
Wang Susu searched around inside and out and found that even the magnificent and strong rooster with bright feathers was gone.
If nothing unexpected happens, you will definitely be poisoned by the weasel.
I was both angry and sad for a moment: "We didn't mess with these chicken thieves at all, why did we come to steal our chicken?"
The big rooster and old hen at home have been raised for more than a year. They are reluctant to eat the New Year at home, but they are harmed by weasels.
It would be unbearable if anyone else had done it.
Seeing that his wife was so angry that her eyes were red, Chen Ling gritted her teeth and said, "This yellow skin has caused several surrounding families recently, and she will come again in the future. I will go to Cui Chuizi's small shop to buy some rat poison. The medicine will kill these dogs."
"Is rat poison good?"
Wang Susu asked inconspicuously.
Chen Ling responded affirmatively: "It must be done. You cook the porridge first, and I will go back."
...
After a while, Chen Ling not only bought back rat poison, but also bought a small piece of fresh meat.
After soaking the fresh meat in Dongtianxi water, it was cut into several pieces.
They are stained with rat poison, or placed on the wall around the chicken coop, or hung on the next tree with a rope.
At this time, the two puppies had already smelled the smell, barking and running over, circling around a few pieces of meat, drooling in a greedy way.
"Okay, get up and drive, this is not for you to eat."
Chen Ling drove the two puppies aside, then caught the chicks in the bamboo basket and put them in the room.
The remaining two old hens covered the chicken coops with barbed wire.
Then I sat down to have breakfast.
"Is this OK? Why don't we put two clips?"
Wang Susu thought Chen Ling’s arrangement was too simple, just a few pieces of meat with rat poison. Will he be fooled with something as cunning as a weasel?
"Don't worry, it's definitely OK."
"As long as they dare to come, these pieces of meat will be enough to make them come and go."
Chen Ling took a sip of porridge and said confidently.
Wang Susu asked after hearing this: "Then are you still going to the county town today?"
Originally, Chen Ling planned to go to the county town today to sell herbal medicines and order a batch of fruit tree saplings back.
Unexpectedly, a weasel at home made him lose his mood.
"I won't go anymore. If I don't kill these two yellow-skinned medicines, I can't let out this tone."
In fact, I was also worried that if the meat soaked in Dongtian Creek attracts something else, Wang Susu can't handle it at home.
After all, the Dongtian Stream Water is very attractive to animals and plants.
Even the water used to boil the porridge after boiling the Dongtianxi River and poured it into the pond of the crabapple flowers, this year it grows much more prosperous than last year. Not only is the fragrance of flowers stronger, but the flowers are thicker and more plump.
I opened 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, I would have just bitten the chickens from Qin Dongmei and Mrs. Wang to death, so why did I start eating them when I arrived at his house?
Most of the time I noticed that his chicken was more delicious.
In order to let his old hen lay eggs well, the chicks grow up quickly, Chen Ling would chop the peanuts and vines from Dongtian with spinach, or mix them with corn flour or bran.
How could such a chicken be compared to an ordinary chicken?
After tasting the weasel, it is a normal reaction to eat it directly.
After breakfast, Chen Ling cleaned up the medicinal materials that needed to be dried and put them in a bamboo plaque. He took out the remaining medicinal materials that were not sold last year and placed them in the yard to dry them one by one.
When we were about to go to the county town, we would sell it together.
"Uncle Fugui, are you at home..."
At this time, a few little hairs came into the door.
Chen Ling looked over and said that Liu Nier came 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 years old, he has a low seniority. When he sees Chen Ling, he still calls him "Fugui Uncle".
However, his child is still young, two years younger than Liu Nier, and he can't figure out his generation. He should have called Uncle Chen Ling, but he always followed Liu Nier to call Uncle Fugui.
Chen Ling just let him call him.
"You guys, are you here to see you again?"
Chen Ling stood up with a smile, waved and said, "Come in quickly."
After the little buffalo was taken back, because of his snow-white look, he was well-behaved and cute, he soon became the new favorite of the little kids.
As for Heiwa and Xiaojin, their size has been rising sharply, no longer as chubby as they were when they were young, and their cute appearance was as small as puppies, so the little dolls lost interest in them.
"No, we came here to feed the chickens."
Liu Nier and three walked into the yard, each carrying a bottle of wine in his hand.
Chen Ling took a closer look, "Oh, where did you catch so many golden beetles?"
The wine bottle was filled with golden and black scarabs.
"Hehe, we caught it in the field..."
Liu Ni'er raised the bottle and handed it to Chen Ling: "Uncle Fugui, look, the chicken can lay more eggs after eating this."
Chen Ling took the wine bottle and looked at it. He saw scarabs crawling around on the smooth bottle wall, growing plump and round. Such insects are rich in protein. After eating them, the old hen will indeed become more diligent in laying eggs.
"Why don't you take it back and feed your chicken?"
"I don't lack this chicken in my family. I can catch a lot of chickens every day after school."
Liu Ni'er sniffed, "Xizi's bottle is a black old bag, and she was caught for her grandfather's chickens. I and Xiao Sen's golden beetle were fed to your chickens."
Black Old Bao is the black beetle, whose scientific name is Dark Beetle. Because it is black all over, it was nicknamed Black Old Bao.
The little girl suddenly said with a slightly red face: "Uncle Fugui, I will definitely come to give it to you if I catch the insect next Sunday."
Chen Ling touched the girl's head and smiled gently, "No need, our family had a weasel this morning, and there were not a few chickens left. You can take them back and feed them to your grandfather's chicken."
"Ah? Weasel, isn't that Wong Tai Sin?"
The three little babies' faces changed. They were obviously influenced by adults and had heard of legends about Wong Tai Sin.
"There is nothing to be afraid of in weasels. In fact, this thing is also a good beast. It is a good player for eating rats. It is just to hold revenge and have a strong desire to take revenge, which makes people afraid to provoke."
"Actually, as long as there are dogs at home, weasels are not afraid to come to the door."
Chen Ling gave the children a popular science.
"Is this really the case?"
"But I heard from my grandfather that someone in Kinmen Village beat a Wong Tai Sin to death and roasted it and ate it. In less than half a month, he was retribution and died at the doorstep."
