In my days as a farmer

Contrary to the nervous humans, the pigsty is peaceful.

The weather is getting cooler in the evening, which is the peak period of pig activity. Xiangxiang seems to have heard the footsteps of her master and walked out of the pigsty, and tilted her head when she saw the two people running.

As the only girl in the family, Xiangxiang's treatment can be said to be top-notch.In addition to its own small house, a pig also has a piece of enclosed land, in which there are various toys made of wood or rubber.

The main function of these toys is to create an enriching environment. Pigs are very afraid of loneliness, but due to well-known reasons, its nest cannot be placed too close to the small brick house, so Xia Dongli Arranged toys to play with it.

Sometimes they will secretly hide some food in the toys, so that Xiangxiang can feel pleasantly surprised while playing.

However, compared to toys, Xiangxiang likes rolling in mud puddles the most. Sometimes when it’s not raining, it will deliberately overturn the basin to create a muddy environment, roll on the ground, and find the owner to help it take a cold bath after rolling. , super happy der~

However, these activities were suspended after the piglet was born. For hygiene and safety reasons, Xia Dongli made a partition for the pig's nest, and Xiangxiang hadn't rolled in the ground for a long time.

Sometimes Xia Dongli felt very distressed watching Xiangxiang outside while breastfeeding, but Xiangxiang had to endure until the little pig was full moon.

In order to compensate the little girl, Xia Dongli has already bought a lot of root crops, and is going to bury them in the ground for them to find and eat before Xiangxiang comes out of the nest. Fortunately, he was afraid that the crops would germinate, so he didn't plant them, otherwise he would be cheaper than the wild boar La!

Xun Yao picked up the piglets one by one for inspection. After reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at Xia Dongli: "It's all right."

Xiangxiang was fine, and the little pigs were not injured, so why is this pig here?Do you step on the spot or steal the feed?Xia Dongli had question marks all over his head.

But in any case, finding wild boars down the mountain is a very serious matter, and the information must be submitted to the local forestry bureau immediately.

It is summer now, and there is plenty of food on the mountain. The wild boars may just go wrong when they come down, but in autumn and winter, the wild boars going down the mountain will bring great harm to the crops.It’s okay for these bad guys to steal food, and even eat, throw and trample on it, and it’s okay to leave without paying after eating, and they will come again next time.

Fenghua City, which has many mountains and virgin forests in its jurisdiction, has a relatively mature professional wild boar response system, and the bottom-up monitoring of wild boar movements is the basis of this system.

According to the distribution and quantity of wild boars, the Municipal Forestry Bureau and the Provincial Forestry Bureau will estimate the abundance of food on the mountain according to the local climate conditions in autumn and winter every year, so as to choose the time to feed wild boars on the mountain, and ensure that the wild boars can eat as much as possible. There is plenty of food, so you don't have to take risks.

In fact, if there is enough food, wild animals will try their best to avoid conflicts with humans down the mountain.They are not stupid. The results of wild animals being discovered by humans are always not very good. Even though there are animal protection laws and government compensation, it is difficult for farmers to retaliate passionately when they see their small animals die tragically. Although it is not fatal, it is still very painful to be hit a few times.

However, this province's operation mode is also very controversial in the national forestry sector, and to some extent it cannot be replicated.

Because the abundance of food means that all the wild boar cubs can survive that year, and the number of wild boars will increase in the second and third years. This move is nothing but drinking poison to quench thirst and can only solve the superficial problem.

Moreover, the process of feeding is also a very dangerous thing for the staff, and it is difficult to grasp a certain degree of it.

However, this province is also very calm about the chattering of colleagues from other provinces. At the meeting where the big bosses gathered, the director of the Provincial Forestry Bureau calmly said that our situation is different from yours. We don’t need to worry too much about the increase in the number of wild boars. Because this province is also the habitat of Siberian tigers and Far Eastern leopards!

The wild boar is nothing more than a hunted brother to us.

Big brothers in the South:! ! !You happy!

That's right, now that wild South China tigers are extinct and wild bears are rare, wild boars basically have no natural enemies in the southern mountains and forests.

In the Northeast, the wild boar, which is a headache for the Southern Forestry Bureau, is an excellent ration for nearly extinct wild beasts such as Siberian tigers and Far Eastern leopards.

Especially the Siberian tiger, the Siberian tiger is not picky at all when hunting.Whether it is a big wild boar with rough skin and thick flesh, or a pink and juicy little piglet, it is their meal, which one to prey on depends only on what they want to eat today.

As for the Amur leopard, its size is not dominant, and its main prey targets are small wild boars and young pigs, and they cannot beat adult big pigs.But the amur leopard's estrus period is in winter, and it needs energy throughout its gestation period, so they are not polite about eating wild boar.

In fact, since the province began to implement the wild boar feeding program, the situation of wild boar nuisance has dropped by nearly 30 percentage points. Compared with the crops ruined by wild boars, the food fed can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.

Correspondingly, the number of wild Siberian tigers and Amur leopards has increased by 5 percentage points, and the number of pigs has also increased. However, in front of Siberian tigers and Far Amur leopards, these numbers have not yet reached the warning range.

The director hopes that there will be more wild boars in the mountains, so that tigers and leopards can eat fat and give birth to more cubs. Of course, this situation is limited to the protected area. If wild tigers and leopards appear in the forest outside the protected area Still grim.

Cough, far away.

Because the region attaches great importance to the situation of wild boars, submitting information is also very simple. If you can use a smartphone to report through the WeChat official account port, if you can’t, just tell the village chief.

The platform said that it would be better to provide clearer photos and videos, so Xia Dongli specially turned on the monitoring of the pig's nest to find out the situation of the wild boar. This search attracted Chen Li, who was packing his backpack and preparing to go home from work. come over.

"Ah! So it's it, I've seen this guy." Researcher Xiao Chen exclaimed immediately after seeing the video data clearly on the screen.

Under the dubious gazes of Xia Dongli and Xun Ao, researcher Xiao Chen carefully identified, then nodded affirmatively, and told his sad past: "I was late when I came to you before, because I was caught by this The guy's family did it."

Those hoofprints on the body of his beloved little Santana are still in place, which is a medal.

"But why is this guy looking for Xiangxiang? He has a wife."

That's right, that's the point!

Xia Dongli suddenly remembered the wild boar family that Chen Li told them about when he complained to them. It was a big family with husband and wife and piglets, but what they saw today was a single pig.

Could it be that in such a short period of time, this boar has encountered the tragedy of being usurped and robbed of his wife?

"Probably not." Xun Yao zoomed in on the image on the surveillance camera. The probe placed in the pigsty was Little Snowman No. [-]. The shooting time was daytime, and the pixels were quite clear. He pointed to the body of the wild boar He signaled the two to pay attention to the places he pointed to: "These are the places where the boar is most likely to be stabbed during the fight, but it was not injured, which means that it is either the winner, or it has not been through the fight."

That is how the matter?Xia Dongli tilted his head and guessed: "Could it be that his wife and children were eaten? There are lynxes in our forest..."

This is even more outrageous. Xia Dongli shook his head and vetoed it as soon as he said it. The lynx is indeed a first-class ferocious hunter, but its size is there.Lynxes can easily hunt small piglets, but they still have no chance of winning against wild boars with rough skin and thick flesh and sharp fangs.

So what the hell is going on with this pig? ?

"What is the truth... I think I will know when Xiaozhu grows up." Chen Li's expression was unpredictable, and his words immediately awakened Xia Dongli. Xia Dongli's expression changed, and he understood Chen Li's hint But Xia Dongli still couldn't figure it out: "But this is the first time we've seen it. If it's Xiangxiang's boyfriend, isn't the frequency too low?"

The mating of pigs is not a one-off. In order to ensure that the sows are pregnant, the boars have to date the sows several times. Ahem, it is precisely because this is too inefficient that the pig farms later adopted the method of artificial insemination.

If this boar really hooked up after Xiangxiang arrived here, Xia Dongli wouldn't have seen it once, unless...

Unless this girl has her own family, she is usually watched by the eldest wife when she goes in and out, so the frequency of private meetings with Xiangxiang is very low.

Xia Dongli was embarrassed, he felt that his whole body hated iron but not steel, their fragrant pig!How could she be overwhelmed by a scumbag!

"Don't worry, don't worry, you won't lose." Chen Li said calmly from the side: "The meat will become delicious after mating wild boars and domestic pigs."

Xia Dongli:! ! ! !

"really?"

"Really," Chen Li tapped the screen: "This is Changbai Mountain wild boar. It grows slowly and is not too big, but it is muscular and has strong disease resistance. It is a very good native breed. Someone used to compare Changbai Mountain wild boar and domestic pig. I have done breeding of new varieties, and it is said that the taste is very good, but the growth is too slow. If you have this idea, you can try breeding two or three generations, and the taste of the second generation is generally the best.”

Xia Dongli paused, watching the wild boar's eyes in the video gradually become kinder, at this moment Chen Li reminded him again: "But if the father is a wild boar, your piglets should be operated on as soon as possible." , otherwise it will be bad if the wildness comes out."

He also pointed out the direction for Xia Dongli: "You can go to the animal husbandry station to sterilize piglets. Didn't you get a certificate? With the certificate, it costs about 5 yuan to sterilize a pig, plus anti-inflammatory drugs. It's very cheap."

Xia Dongli thought for a moment, then nodded, this nod decided the fate of the little piggies.

The next day, he drove Xun Ao's teacher to Xiaotupo, and then sent the calm doctor back amidst the shrill cries of the little piggies——Dr. The time is longer than the actual operation time, and it looks like an old driver in the industry.

Facing Xia Dongli's vaguely admiring eyes, Dr. Xu said calmly: There is no one else, only familiarity.

The breeding industry in Xiaojin Village is mainly based on silkworms, and at most they only raise poultry free-range at most, and there are almost no pigs. For the resident doctor in Xiaojin Village, he has not sterilized pigs for a long time, which is really small I miss it!

Xia Dongli: Oh!

Okay, okay, he really doesn't understand the world of doctors.

Dr. Xu left some anti-inflammatory medicines for Xia Dongli, and told him to grind up the wound and sprinkle it on if the wound became inflamed. Impression, I don't know what impression it is to deepen.

Because I came to pick up Dr. Xu today, Xia Dongli was so formal that he pulled out the SUV that he hadn't driven for a long time. After delivering the person, he stopped by to fill up the car and made a small detour to buy it. Roudancai hummed a little tune and headed home.

From a distance, Xia Dongli saw several figures standing outside the yard of his small brick house.

what's going on?Xia Dongli glanced at his phone to make sure that he didn't miss the call. Since they didn't call, these people should have just arrived.

Afraid of people waiting for a long time, he pulled down the car window and stepped on the gas pedal. Before the person approached, the other party seemed to have heard the movement and turned around. Xia Dongli was startled, and the foot that was stepping on the gas pedal unconsciously moved away up.

What the hell!

That was the only thought in his mind.

Why did these two groups meet?
