In my days as a farmer

When Xia Dongli came back with the cage, he found that the atmosphere in his whole house was different.

The old dragon king who had maintained a cold image in front of them before, and had joined the square dance brigade but never showed it, actually took an old man's mobile phone and stared at the three blackbirds playing square dance songs, not caring at all that this behavior exposed Out of his dragon hobby.

The sound effect of the elderly machine is outstanding, Xia Dongli’s car didn’t stop, and he heard the square dance Divine Comedy with first-class ear-washing effect as soon as he went up the slope, and what the old Dragon King played seemed to be a skewer. When he opened the door and entered the house, the Divine Comedy had already changed. I wrote three songs.

"Uncle Geng?" Xia Dongli poked his head as he entered the room, a little puzzled as to why the old dragon king let himself go all of a sudden.

"Xiao Xia, come and take a look." The old dragon king rushed to recruit him, Xia Dongli handed the breeding cage to Xun Ao who came in with the car key, and then approached the old man.

"Uncle Geng? What happened to Gong Shangyu?"

Gong Shangyu is the name of these three little blackbirds, as the blackbirds who were captured by Xia Dongli when they were still eggs, and were secretly poked and fed by evil humans when they were still young birds. Thrashers, these three little ones didn't leave here even after their flight feathers grew.

Of course, the human yard is too narrow for the blackbirds. They usually roam around outside and only return to this safe little yard when they are resting.

As small birds raised by humans, they have no pressure to please humans by cheating and drinking. Before, they didn't even need to pay a price. As long as they scream twice at Xia Dongli's window door, there will be fat worms Eat, but after the old Dragon King came, the world changed.

As a dragon with full skill points on the road of enjoyment, the old dragon king immediately started the journey of sex after discovering that this bird is good at imitating the calls of other birds.

Because there are three birds, Xia Dongli originally wanted to call it Duo Ruimi when choosing the name, but the old dragon king firmly voted against it, saying that the birds of Huaguo should have the characteristics of Huaguo, so they were called Gong Shangyu.

Not to mention, I don't know if it's because of growing up in this environment or because of the old man's good training. The three blackbirds in Xia Dongli's family are indeed very happy to learn various songs.

A few days ago, Uncle Dahai, a mechanical man, came to ask Xia Dongli if he wanted to buy chickens. He happened to see the performance of the birds. As soon as he entered the door, he heard the endless calls of various small animals in the courtyard, thinking that something had happened It turned out that it was sent by three birds, and I was shocked to the heavens.

Ahem, yes, apart from loving all kinds of mechanical (farming) vehicles, Uncle Dahai also has the hobby of raising birds like most uncles.There is a mynah in his house, and it is very fun to play with the bird and teach it to talk every day when he is free.

In order to get Mynah to speak, Uncle Dahai often bought fat bugs from Xia Dongli and went back to coax the little ancestor at home.

Relying on their family's mynah who can only say Gong Xi Fa Cai, Uncle Dahai has always been the most shining little old man in their village, but man, after a long time, it is inevitable that he will develop a feeling of being lonely and seeking defeat.

There are quite a few people raising birds in Northeast China, but there are not many birds who are good at learning tongues. Whether it is mynah or parrot, they are subtropical and tropical birds. They are not cold-resistant, and they need special care during winter. It is also much more troublesome than ordinary birds.

Uncle Dahai has a lot of chickens and ducks at home and has experience in poultry breeding. The plane has special heat preservation skills to ensure the health of the young chicks in the winter. Others are too lazy to deal with these temperature and humidity.

So in the entire Xiaojin Village, only Uncle Dahai raised mynah. Now that he met another master, it was natural for him to meet each other late. Uncle Dahai drew the old Dragon King into the village by himself, relying on his full communication skills with men from the Northeast. The leisure life of retired men.

But even though they are friends in the dusk (Note: Uncle Dahai thinks it is), there are times when the two little old men disagree. For example, the old dragon king thinks that singing birds are better, while Uncle Dahai thinks that talking birds are better.

Before, in the little old man group, everyone felt that birds that can learn the sounds of various animals are rarer than birds that can speak human words. After all, birds that can recite ancient poems on TV have been seen. In their eyes, they are not as interesting as the three little blackbirds who can form a small choir.

Of course, it is also a very important selling point that the three small blackbirds can be carried with them without entering the cage.

But now the situation is reversed. Birds that can sing are so interesting. The little old men and the old ladies encouraged Uncle Dahai to make persistent efforts and strive to train Grackles. When they participate in the competitions in the county, they will play music and they will bring a bird. It's very touching to think about it.

In such a warm atmosphere, there is no doubt that the little blackbird and the old dragon king who have not updated their skills recently have been left out in the cold.

The old Dragon King said that he would never admit defeat, that mynah can only sing one song, so he wants to let their blackbird sing a skewer!

but……

"Why doesn't this bird open its mouth to sing?" Uncle Geng wondered: "Could it be that it doesn't listen enough? Or it doesn't eat well enough? Xiao Xia, take out your worm, I don't believe it!"

The corner of Xia Dongli's mouth twitched, and he elbowed Xun Yao who walked past them expressionlessly, and then dragged him to the side to chatter.

Although blackbirds are good at imitation, and they have the nickname of "Morus", but the focus of their imitation is the sounds of various birds rather than human voices!

It depends on the physiological structure, and it doesn't matter how many times you listen to it, but how can you tell the old man about it, it's so disappointing.

"Just say it straight." Xun Yuhun didn't care, "He's not human, and he doesn't have geriatric diseases."

Xia Dongli was a little entangled when he heard the words: "That's not the way to say it. When you get older, you will be like a child. You have to be coaxed."

Xia Dongli has experience in this point. The older their father is, the more childish he is. Both he and the Queen Mother have sufficient experience in coaxing children.

He thought for a while: "Why don't we buy a Mynah online?"

Xun Yao gave him a weird look, and reminded: "He doesn't know how old he is, and he can live for a long time if there are no accidents."

Xia Dongli's expression immediately became serious, ah, well, it's still not coaxing, the baby's threshold will gradually rise, the more coaxing, the harder it is to coax.

Comrade Xiao Xia was so cold that he moved the tablet that Xun Yao no longer needed, clicked on the video website, searched for various bird teaching tutorials, and put it in front of the old Dragon King.

Grandpa Mao said, you can get enough food and clothing by yourself, Uncle Geng, but he and Xiaoyu are in a big trouble next time.

After teaching the old man how to adjust the video, Xia Dongli hurried into the main room with "Big Trouble", and Xun Ao had already started to arrange the environment.

He set up a simple reptile breeding box with a fish tank, branches, and fine sand, and heated the infrared lamp that had previously kept the chicks warm in the fish tank. After the temperature rose, the little green snake was put in.

That's right!Xun Yao's teacher, Dr. Xu, handed over the big trouble to the students after examining the body of the little green snake. The broken owl was caught.

Fortunately, the little owl was thinking of giving something to Xia Dongli at the time and didn't put in too much effort, and the little Maojiu's claws were not as sharp as those of an adult bird, so it didn't cause irreversible damage to Zhuyeqing. can recover.

However, this kind of poisonous snake is quite common in Xiaojin Village. Not only is it not a protected animal, but it is also a species that everyone in the local people shouts and beats. If it is sent to the Forestry Bureau, it is estimated that it will be released directly, so Dr. Xu asked Xun Yu to raise it by himself. .

Of course, as a qualified teacher, he prepared Viper serum and tetanus injection for Xun Yao just in case, which can be said to be very well prepared.

Xia Dongli watching: =口=

The interlacing is like a mountain, are all the veterinarians so fierce?

Dr. Xu shook his finger and said: If a wild and injured temperature-changing animal can be taken care of and restored to health, basically [-]% of the animals on the market can be taken care of.

And they are all veterinarians, and they are also farm veterinarians, which is naturally different from the pet hospital veterinarians who deal with obedient small animals in the city.

The biggest problem that pet hospitals deal with is large dogs, but what about farm veterinarians?

Pigs, cows, and sheep are not easy to deal with. Don’t look at herbivores who seem silent and docile, but the weight base is here, and herbivores in a sick state are extremely aggressive.

As a veterinarian, he is not bold, careful and cautious. It won't be long before he, the teacher, has to change his qualification certificate and roll up his sleeves to save the students.

Since it can promote the progress of his own family, Xia Dongli will not refuse even if he sees the snake a little nervous, but the big problem at present is the snake's food.

Zhuyeqing's diet is all meat. Although insects are acceptable occasionally, it prefers to eat frogs, birds and rats.

Xia Dongli didn't have a place to find these three things, but luckily there was Taobao, which was omnipotent.

Xia Dongli found a store selling zerg feed in the next city. After explaining the situation to the other party, Xia Dongli drove to the other store and traded 100 frozen suckling mice on the spot.

The family also has a physical store, which sells exotic pets such as geckos, praying mantises, and pet snakes. Of course, they also sell the food of these exotic pets.

Xia Dongli immediately bought some earthworm eggs and barley worms.Although inbreeding in insects does not cause congenital diseases like mammals, it will also cause population degradation if it does so for a long time. Is it necessary to supplement new genes?

By the way, the earthworm buckets scattered in the vegetable fields of Xia Dongli's family also took on the function of attracting wild earthworms. Many of these earthworms attracted by delicious food and the same kind have now become the door-to-door sons-in-law of the earthworm family.

In addition to these, Xia Dongli also received an unexpected joy.

This kind seller is also an insect lover, and he prefers carnivorous insects. Xia Dongli bought some seed pods of the big knife mantis from him, and was very surprised to buy two hatched Wuba hookflies .

Like cicadas, dragonflies live in the larval stage for a long time, and only a few months after they become adults. Both of these two dragonflies were raised by the owner when they were still water gnats. It took almost ten years to finally emerge, but unfortunately, the same sex could not reproduce.

The owner of the shop has a deep affection for these two dragonflies. Although he is a little disappointed that they have no offspring, he still decides to raise them until they die before making specimens of them.

Don't think this act is cruel. The process of making insect specimens is also a funeral for their beloved pets, which is different from commercial specimens.

Routine commercial taxidermy is done when the insect is freshly dead, so that the insect does not become brittle and maintains its shape.

Generally speaking, it is impossible to know the time of death, so most of the insect specimens are artificially killed, and only a few are produced using insects that died naturally.

However, the shop owner plans to keep the dragonfly until it dies, which will inevitably lead to more difficulty in making dragonfly specimens and a decrease in appearance. In order to achieve the best results, the owner even has to stay by his pet's side in the last few days, which is naturally unnecessary. More mentions.

Because of this, when Xia Dongli proposed to buy these two Wuba Hookfly, the owner did not agree, until Xia Dongli showed him his mighty and domineering male Wuba Hookfly, which could single out wasps, And said that the purpose of the purchase is to let go after the blind date.

Before Xia Dongli left, he even wrapped some Dubia for him, and while taking pictures as a souvenir, he said that this is the favorite food of the cubs in the family, and they may not be able to eat it in the future, so they should eat more now This made Xia Dongli a little sentimental by his emotions.

It's autumn now, and even the biggest dragonfly can't stop the countdown to life.

"Fortunately, the interval between mating and egg laying of dragonflies is very short. If the time is right, you may have time to give birth to the next generation." It was released, and this is where they last saw the family dragonfly.

At that time, the dragonfly was preying on firefly larvae, but it was already a week ago. Since then, Xiaojin Village has experienced a sharp drop in temperature. To be honest, Xia Dongli is not sure whether the dragonfly is still alive.

"I hope it's here, otherwise this child will be too lonely if he hasn't seen his family." Xia Dongli put the two dragonflies that were still hesitating on the top of the tree, and said with some sentimentality.

No matter how prepared you are, it's always upsetting to see your pet come to an end.

But Xia Dongli's mood didn't last long.

On the third day after releasing the female dragonflies, Wuba Goufly, who had been away from home for a long time, took the two back to the small transfer house.

However, before Xia Dongli was moved, he saw his unfilial son triumphantly showing the location of the beehive to two hesitant female dragonflies, and directly grabbed a passing bee and sent it to one of them. In front of the slightly larger female dragonfly.

Xia Dongli looked at the proud cub sadly, and crushed the egg in his hand with a "click".

A foodie!

The author has something to say: Dongli: If you don’t see it, you should miss it, if you see it, you will feel angry. This must be your own son!
