In my days as a farmer

Windows and doors were knocked in the middle of the night, no matter where it happened, there was only the word "horror", especially in the countryside.

In rural areas, even a relatively wealthy village like Xiaojin Village is dark at night. Although there are street lights, the brightness in small villages lacking landscape lights and bright neon lights is far less than that of small streets in ordinary cities. .

Not to mention the Xia family on the small soil slope that exists independently of Xiaojin Village.

Xia Dongli came from the city and was not able to adapt to a completely dark living environment, so they installed several solar night lights in the small yard of their house.However, considering the needs of small animals for a dark environment, the small lights except for key areas have been replaced with infrared triggers, which will only light up when they pass by. Therefore, when Xia Dongli went down through the gap in the curtain When he took a look, he didn't see any lights in the courtyard.

That's what's scary!This shows that the thing knocking on the window didn't disturb their small infrared light at all!

Xia Dongli took a breath. He had experienced this kind of knocking on the window several times in the middle of the night, and it was all from the oak bird to exchange feathers.

But since the beginning of summer, there has been news from the oak birds that their feathers are now used to keep their nests warm, and it is the season when there is plenty of food in the woods, and there is no need to exchange bugs with Xia Dongli for the time being, so the two sides suspended Trade contacts will continue at the end of autumn.

According to them, the oak bird family is now hatching eggs and raising cubs!

And the most important thing is that after the trade stabilizes, the oak birds will come to the door normally, instead of tossing their little wings to fly up to the second floor.So it must not be an oak bird outside the window.

For a moment, Xia Dongli felt that the air-conditioning in the room seemed a little too full, and his back was a little chilly. The scene of the old horror movie that he and Xun Ao watched together in the evening suddenly drilled into his mind, biting Xia again and again. Dongli's sanity.

He calmly got out of bed, then opened the bedroom door without hesitation, rushed to the door of Xun Yao's room, and began to knock on the door.

Horror Movie Survival Skills - If there is a change in your balcony, don't be curious to watch it, just slip away first!

Xun Yao was still awake at this time. He was lighting up the lamp at his desk to fight at night. He was a little surprised when his boyfriend came running in a panic, so he quickly pulled him in. He had just heard Xia Dongli say a few words when he heard the sound coming from the window of his bedroom. There was also a knock on the window.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The person who knocked on the window seemed to be getting a little impatient this time, not as slowly and hurriedly as he knocked on Xia Dongli's window before.

Xia Dongli glanced at her boyfriend, the two exchanged a look, and walked to the window together.

After hearing a "hissing", the curtains of Xun Yao's bedroom opened wide, and at the same time Xia Dongli held up the flashlight of his mobile phone to shine out of the window.With this photo, his hairs exploded.

From Xun Yao's window sill to the courtyard wall, there were dozens of crows parked densely. These crows seemed to be unaffected by the night, all staring at their windows.

The eyes of the birds in the night are dark, and there is a very strange reflection in the flashlight, which looks weird and abnormal.

But the problem is...

"How did they come here?" The young man frowned, a little puzzled, "Crows shouldn't be seen at night, Xiao Ge, did you see crows in the evening?"

"No." Xun Yao said with certainty.However, there is no need to consider this issue at this time. With the attitude of the crows obviously wanting to make trouble, both of them are also ready to go to war.

The two went to the storage room and took out the large net used to catch the fallen leaves in the small pond. Xun Ao also moved a cage and prepared to compete with these crows.

Although they didn't know why the crows came to make trouble at night, they had heard the glorious deeds of this rogue army before, and knew that there was no way to end it well.

In the animal world, if such a group fight occurs, you must not be cowardly. The first impression of getting along with animals is very important. Once the other party thinks that you are weak, it will take a long time to change this impression.

What's worse is that some animals will take care of the weak, such as dogs, and more will bully and rob the weak without hesitation. The group in the sky is the latter.

Neither of them intended to ask the dogs to join the war. The crows held grudges, but they rarely vented their anger. The family dogs had to run into the mountains every day, and if they got into trouble with the birds, they would inevitably be in trouble.

And now these birds choose the main battlefield on the second floor, which is not so friendly to dogs.

Xun Yao stretched out his hand towards the window, and after exchanging glances with Xia Dongli, he unscrewed the handle and pushed it out.At the same time, Xia Dongli squeezed the fishing net in his hand and stared at the window.

The windows of the small brick house are all triple-glazed sliding windows. Because the windows themselves are heavy, the sliding action requires some strength, and they are not easy to be knocked easily.

Therefore, if the mouth is opened a little smaller, and the crows can only enter sporadically, their chances of winning are still quite high.

In the tense atmosphere where the bird-man war was about to break out, a childish "chirp chirp" sound was heard, and a familiar fur chirped and jumped in from the window sill.Seeing Xia Dongli, it gave a very friendly "chirp", as if it didn't see the fishing net in the young man's hand at all.

"Little Xiaomi?" Xia Dongli hurriedly reached out and took the gray-haired little Maojiu into his palm, looking at the scarlet lines around its neck and said in surprise, "Why are you here? Where are your parents?"

"Jiujiu~" Xiaomaojiu shook his wings in Xia Dongli's hand, looking quite at ease.This Maojiu was caught by Xiaokang who went out to find medicine for his master when he was still naive, and was taken care of by Xia Dongli for a period of time before being picked up by his mother, so he was very familiar with Xia Dongli.

Of course, Xiao Maojiu still doesn't know that he was almost killed at that time, and thought he was here to play.

Its father was a quail called Xiaomi that Xia Dongli once raised. Later, when he went out to find his wife in the spring, he was spotted by the matriarch of the oak bird and brought him back to be the husband of the village. He also changed his name, so Xia Dong Li used this name on the little baby bird.

The oak bird mother didn't refuse him to call him that, it was her tacit consent.Because of this relationship, the Liniao family and Xia Dongli are relatively close.Xia Dongli stroked the little bird twice, and pushed down the dull hair on its head. If the little cub appeared here, it meant...

[Long time no see, human. 】A cloud of shadows stepped in from the window sill, and the mother oak bird walked in with elegant bird steps. It looked at the cub sitting in Xia Dongli's palm, and seemed a little helpless. I am entrusted by someone to recommend you. 】

It turned slightly, and the bird's head nodded in the direction of the window.Under the watchful eyes of two humans and two birds, a black raven landed on the window sill. It walked into the house with unrestrained steps, looked left and right, and nodded at Xia Dongli with a very arrogant.

【This is A'Du, you should have seen it during the day. 】The oak bird looked at Xia Dongli, 【It is the leader of the Baiyun crows, and the purpose of visiting is the same as ours. 】

Xia Dongli secretly threw the fishing net under the bed long before the crow entered the house. At the moment, he was very friendly on the surface. When he heard the oak bird say the same purpose, he couldn't help being stunned, and looked at the raven with a little confusion in his eyes.

same purpose?

The proud raven glanced at him, then arched its beak on its belly. After a while, it pulled out a black fluff from the fur on its belly under the scorching gaze of everyone. , and gently placed it in front of its foothold.

Then he looked at Xia Dongli proudly and haughtily, his two swarthy eyes seemed to say: Oh, human being, are you satisfied with what you see?

Xia Dongli: ...

etc?what's the situation?

You engaged in such a big battle and came here with thousands of supporters, just to change the bugs! ! ! ?

He looked at Oak Bird in disbelief.As the recommended bird, the oak bird looked away, and said quietly: 【Mr. Adu came to our clan land as a guest by chance, and then tasted the delicacies exchanged from you, Mr. Xia, and appreciated it very much.But there are not many reserves of these foods in our clan, so I introduce them to you. 】

Xia Dongli blinked, and automatically translated: The crows ran to the homestead of Li Niao's house to rob, and they happened to snatch the barley worms that Xia Dongli had exchanged before. After eating, I still feel that it is not enough.The oak bird felt that if this was not possible, he would be eaten by the big family, so he tricked the raven here.

At this moment, the eyes of the head of the Oak Bird family looking at Xia Dongli seemed to be shining with the light of "this is a big dog, cut it hard".

Xia Dongli said that GET this information, he looked at Raven and its little brothers sincerely, and said that we all should sit down and have a heart-to-heart talk, let’s drink tea and have a snack or something together, the company undertakes various Business, everyone can talk slowly.

Big Raven didn't seem to be worried about this weak human being playing any tricks at all, and walked into the small garden with the younger brothers who flew in with hula la.

Then, when Xia Dongli went back to the room and walked around before coming out, he had two small boxes in his hand, one of which contained the food box of barley worms for the crows to try.Of course, the oak bird mother and son as the matchmaker also received separate preferential treatment.

When he turned to the raven, Xia Dongli put another box in front of it - it was obviously not for barley worms.

Raven looked at the unopened small box with some vigilance, especially after Xia Dongli took out a small charging lamp and put it on the table, he was even more puzzled and vigilant.

Under its dignified gaze, Xia Dongli opened the brocade box, and it was immediately adorned with jewels, attracting the attention of all the birds.

For a moment, those who ate the worms stopped eating, those who drank the honey water stopped drinking, and those who used the worms to please the mother bird did not want to please.

That's right, another box that Xia Dongli took down contained a small box of diamonds. There were more than a dozen diamonds the size of half a small fingernail, and each diamond had 57 standard cuts. Now these cut surfaces refract and reflect the light source of the small desk lamp, making the black velvet brocade box in which it is placed seem to be glowing.

nice!

All the birds had only this reaction in an instant, even the mother oak bird watched frequently, and the birds gathered unconsciously.Crows naturally like shiny things, especially the size that can be played with under the claws makes the bird happy.

The only one who can keep calm in this light is the raven, but its eyes turned around in the small box several times, and after a while, it called out: "Gah!"

【What does it mean? 】The patriarch of the oak bird dutifully translated.

Xia Dongli pursed his lips and showed a shy smile, then pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said to the birds: "This is how things are. I don't need feathers this season."

As soon as he said that, the birds were in a commotion. They came here to change the worms according to the boss. In fact, there were some birds who hadn’t eaten the worms that the boss said before, but now everyone has tasted it, and they agree with it in their hearts. The boss's decision.

But now this human being actually said that he doesn't want Maomao anymore!

Don't be fluffy = don't want to exchange = no fat and delicious bugs to eat!

The feathers of the crows are about to explode.

Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Xia Dongli went on to say: "But I have another way, I would like to ask you to protect our little animals."

The oak bird translated his words to the crows, and the crows looked at each other, confused.

Protect?What do you mean?

Xia Dongli then stated the transaction terms that he had just come up with in his mind.

Their family is currently short of manpower. If the chickens, ducks and sheep at home are raised outside, the biggest enemies are birds and weasels.He had already seen how these birds dealt with raptors. As for ordinary beasts, no one would dare to attack a group of crows unless they were extremely hungry.

Crows can fly, have good eyesight, and have an IQ that is one of the best among birds. They are also local gangsters, mountain overlords. If they agree to help take care of the small animals at home, the safety factor of the small animals will rise in a straight line. It is natural to pay some labor fees.

Xia Dongli talked about the situation with the oak bird and asked it to translate it for him.The crows seemed to have exploded after listening to it, only the raven looked pensive. Not to mention, although this bird was pitch black, its downcast eyes were quite handsome.

Xia Dongli admired it for a while, and then met the bird's dark round eyes.A'Du looked at the human's eyes, and yelled "quack" to him a few times.

[How to settle salary? 】The oak bird’s expression is also a bit inconceivable, it seems that it did not expect that the raven really had the idea of ​​agreeing to this deal, and then it added, 【It cannot be lower than the 15 points for moulting. 】

Well, this raven has already inquired about the market situation.

So, after a business game of knocking on the table and flapping his wings, Xia Dongli hired 16 crows to help guard the house at the cost of 30 barley worms a day.

In addition, every time the crow drives away a small animal that wants to attack chickens, ducks and sheep, Xia Dongli will give a diamond, and if any bird is injured as a result, he will also give one.

The deadline for the transaction is from tomorrow to the end of the first leaf falling. At that time, the crows will migrate to the warmer south and will no longer stay in Baiyun Mountain.As for whether it will continue next year, it depends on the intentions of both parties next year.

——In addition, during the transaction period, Xia Dongli had to prepare an extra snack for the crow leader, because the busy Mr. Adu had to stay to supervise the payment of wages and bonuses.

Xia Dongli reached out and clapped Raven's hands (wings), expressing a happy cooperation with each other.

After sending off the crows and the oak bird mother and child with a smile, Xia Dongli couldn't help jumping happily.

"It's earned." He hugged Da Mi Wang, who had been staring at him since he was awakened, and turned around in circles, in exchange for Da Mi's suspicious gaze.Xia Dongli rubbed his beloved dog's fur and said happily: "Dami, Dad found you a cheap labor force, and you can relax a lot in the future!!"

"Woof?" Rice tilted his head, apparently not understanding, but it was particularly useful for the master's closeness and kisses, and soon stuck out his tongue and showed a smiling face under the master's kisses.

Xun Yao glanced at the two people who were deeply in love with the Lord, and took the initiative to clean up the table.

When he picked up the small brocade box, he couldn't help hesitating for a while, and took out a diamond to observe carefully.

"Adong, this...seems familiar..."

"Ah, Xiaoyu, do you remember?" Xia Dongli put his arms around the dog and looked at him with a smile, "I took this off from the dog collar I bought online before, and it was the one that was left unused after Da Huang left. .”

Xun Yao had a strange expression: "So this is not a diamond?"

"Of course not. Diamonds are so expensive. This is a rhinestone, which is actually cut glass."

Xia Dongli said lightly: "If you buy rhinestones of this size online, you can buy hundreds of them for about 10 yuan."
