In my days as a farmer

Just as Xia Dongli was in a frenzy, Xun Ao carried the little Tao beast to the bathroom.

His unusual movement attracted Xia Dongli's attention, and he followed him curiously, "Xiao Yu?"

Xun Ao first poured laundry detergent into the washbasin, then melted it with boiling water, and then he put the little pottery beast into the basin full of bubbles under Xia Dongli's perplexed gaze.

Xia Dongli was shocked. He had some inexplicable respect for this round little pottery beast at the moment, so when he squatted down and looked at the figure of the pottery beast submerged in the bubbles, he felt that the little round face looked It also looks a little unpredictable.

"Does it want a bubble bath?"

Xun Yao turned his head in surprise when he heard the words, and then the corners of his lips raised slightly: "No, this was placed on the roof before."

so?Xia Dongli tilted his head.

Xun Yao said with a smile in his voice, "When I saw it, Xiaobaa was pressing on it."

little?

Xia Dongli didn't realize it at first, but he was embarrassed after a while.

That's right, pottery animals need to be dried in the shade, so they should be placed in a place that can avoid direct sunlight and be ventilated, and can't be blown by strong winds.At that time, Xia Dongli and Xun Ao built a small nest for the little pottery beast—in fact, they used wooden boards as shelters and partitions to form a shadow area.

And if Xiaobaa is scared, then the best hiding place it can find on the flat roof is indeed there. After all, when the sun is at its peak at noon, only that corner is shaded, and it will naturally appear in the eyes of small animals. Especially feel safe.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Xiaobaa will hide there.

The problem is... If Xun Yao saw the pottery beast being held down by Xiaoba when he went up, doesn't that mean... Xiaoba peed in fright while holding it, or hugged it after he peed in fright It... this, this, this!

He looked at the little pottery beast, and inexplicably felt a smell on it.

"It's already passed." Xun Yao confirmed his thoughts, and then said helplessly, "But the smell of sheep is too strong."

So, can it only be washed with laundry detergent?

Xia Dongli's expression drifted, and he said this: "Sacred beasts are really a magnanimous race."

He hasn't gotten angry after being pissed on by Xiao Baa, and he hasn't withdrawn his divine power. This really can only be described as magnanimous.Must be nice to it.

Xia Dongli thought for a while, and said: "Let's try soaking it in shower gel, and sprinkle some Liushen, Liushen smells quite good."

Xun Yao agreed.After a while, the little Tao beast sat in the bubble bath washed with shower gel, and the fragrance of Liushen toilet water permeated the whole body.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Xun Yao felt that the dye on the little Tao beast seemed to be darker.

Xia Dongli wasn't there, and toilet water also had the effect of repelling insects. If he wanted to feed the silkworms, it would be better if he didn't use it or not.

Once the silkworm is hatched, except for the period of dormancy and eclosion before molting, it will eat almost without sleep.But they haven't reached the most edible time yet, so Xia Dongli can still be lazy.

He usually collects enough mulberry leaves for a week at a time, and puts the rest in the refrigerator for feeding.

I'm afraid it won't work when they are close to emergence. At that time, he may have to pick them every day, but he doesn't know if those trees will be bald by him.

Xia Dongli planned to go to Sang Nong to buy some leaves if he couldn't do it.

The few mulberry trees near Baiyun Mountain are traditional mulberry trees, not domesticated shrubs.Although I don't know how old they are, Xia Dongli estimates that they may be 50 to [-] years old or more, because these trees have grown to the height of a three-story building and are very tall.

However, there are only two female trees in this row. Mulberries have been hung on the trees this season, and the fruits are still green, but you can smell the sweet fragrance when you smell them closely.

Every time Xia Dongli passed by picking leaves, he could see birds wandering around. They were more anxious than him, and they would look back and forth every day, as if to monitor whether the fruits were obediently ripe.

There were a lot of birds wanting to eat the buffet, and the number of birds flying around here with Xia Dongli also increased. He just saw a few pulsatillas flying by.

But what he couldn't understand was that there were so many birds coming and going, why didn't any birds stop in his small yard?

Is his small pond bad?There are birds coming to bathe and drink water in other people's small ponds as soon as they are made. Why is there no one in his house?Moreover, there are chickens and ducks in his house. Logically speaking, shouldn't a yard with small animals be more attractive to small animals?

Xia Dongli really couldn't understand.

Just as he was walking towards the side hall holding the mulberry leaves that had been kept at room temperature, a meteor-colored border shepherd ran in from outside the yard.As soon as it saw Xia Dongli, its eyes lit up, and it immediately rushed over to ask for credit.

"Wow!!" Master!Wang just drove away the birds that came to our house to steal food! !

Oops!Oh it's you!

That's right, the reason why Xia Dongli's family didn't have a bird was actually because of the very conscientious Damiwang.

This Wang has been sleeping outside recently in order to protect his home territory.

Dami Wangna is very displeased with the behavior of these bad birds coming to his yard early in the morning every day, but these birds are too cunning, they come to eat at dawn every day, in order to drive away the birds, Dami can only work hard Get up earlier than the birds so they don't take advantage!

For this reason, it gave up the chance to sleep with its owner!

Xiaotiangou, who had stayed overnight before, agreed with his behavior very much.Dogs have a natural desire to protect their own territory. Without their permission, no one can take advantage of the land under their paws.

In addition to hunting, Xiaotian also had the responsibility of guarding the house back then. Of course, Yang Jian's yard was much larger than Xia Dongli's, and he could be said to be experienced in this regard.

It had taught Rice several tricks before, and it was conceivable that if Xia Dongli hadn't discovered this, then the life he imagined might never come.

Xia Dongli naturally couldn't understand Wang Yanwang's words, so he didn't know what "good things" rice did, but from rice's attitude, he could tell that the dog must have done something that made it proud.

Therefore, Xia Dongli, who upholds the principle of encouraging education, stretched out his hands without hesitation, opened his mouth and boasted. Rice enjoyed being caressed by the master a few times before going to work again.

Today its task (customized) is to graze ducklings.

The ducklings have been kept in cages these days, so pitiful, how can they not exercise all the time, so Wang wants to let them out to swim.

The rice swayed to the edge of the duck cage, stretched out its fur claws and fiddled with it, and soon opened the latch of the cage.The little ducks, who had been bored for several days, got out of the cage as soon as they saw someone they knew. They lined up and followed the rice one by one in an orderly manner.

Rice walked in the front like a kindergarten teacher, her steps were steady and powerful, and she reliably brought the ducklings, which had gradually faded from their young appearance, to the pool, and then barked softly: "Wow. "

Go down and play.

When Xia Dongli came out of the side hall, he held a small bowl in his hand, which contained half a bowl of small black particles.

This is the silkworm excrement he collected today.

This is a good thing. It is especially good to make pillows after drying. It clears the mind and eyesight, but the output is too small, and it takes two or three days to collect such a little.

According to the number of Xia Dongli's silkworm babies, he worked hard to save them, and he probably could make a small pillow for rice. The pillows for him and Xun Ao can only be bought from the silkworm farmers in the village.

He has already asked about the price, and the price of the raw material land is quite cheap.

However, I need to find a stronger fabric for Dami's small pillow. When Dami falls asleep, she sometimes dreams of hunting, and then bites the pillow.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced at the courtyard, wanting to see what his beloved dog was doing.

At this time, Da Mi was standing upright by the side of the small pool, staring at the ducklings swimming in the pool with a serious face, as if he was ready to rescue at any time.

The hard-working dog with its beautiful fur fluttering in the wind, together with the clear small pond in front of it and the little yellow duck swimming in the pond, looks as beautiful as a painting.

Xia Dongli habitually took out his mobile phone to take a picture of this scene, and then admired the scene over and over again.Well, the color and composition are perfect, and it can be used in pet photography competitions!

The most important thing is Qiyun, the dog is gentle and waiting, and the ducklings also look very at ease under the care of the big dog. They bow their heads to drink water from time to time and then swallow it up to the sky.Probably because they haven't been released for a long time, these ducks are still flapping their little wings happily.

Xia Dongli's camera just captured this scene, and the high-definition camera even recorded the water droplets brought out by the duck's wings.

……Um?Wait, something seems wrong, are they drinking too much water?And what is that little black dot on the side of a duck's beak?

He zoomed in on the photo...

! ! ! !

Xia Dongli's complexion changed drastically. He casually put the small bowl aside, and rushed to the edge of the pool in two or three steps. Then he happened to witness a duck swallowing a few tadpoles in its mouth and happily swallowing them up. next scene.

"Ahhh!!!!" Xia Dongli let out a scream, "My tadpole!!!"

After driving a few unwilling ducks back to their cages, Xia Dongli squatted by the pool and pitifully began to count his losses.

He first looked at the location where the frog eggs were hidden before, and what was left there was a small piece of white sticky substance floating on the water.Xia Dongli took a closer look, and the small black spots on it almost disappeared, and the whole egg showed a grayish white color.

After all, frogs are fertilized in vitro. An egg mass cannot be all fertilized eggs, and there are cases where stunted eggs are contaminated. It is said on the Internet that the hatching rate of frog eggs is only about half, and the number is similar.

Thousands of tadpoles can be hatched from this piece of frog eggs, but what he sees now... probably only a few hundred.

Of course, some may still be hiding under the water. The newly hatched tadpoles do not need to eat, so they will not come to the water surface.

But what is certain is that his ducks must have had a full meal.

"Wang~" Rice stood by the pool looking a little downcast, and judged from Xia Dongli's performance that he must have done something wrong.

Xia Dongli touched its head, but didn't blame it: "It's okay, I didn't tell you, it's not Rice's fault."

"Woo~"

But the master is not happy.

Xia Dongli rubbed the dog's ears, and pinched its drooping ears back into an erect shape.Seeing that the rice was still looking sullen, he simply distracted it: "Mi, bring me a bucket."

Rice's ears flicked, and he immediately jumped out. A moment later, it bit the handle of a bucket and ran back. Xia Dongli praised it, and then fished out all the tadpole eggs in the water.

"Wow?" Rice tilted her head, looking a little puzzled.

"Well, none of these can hatch." Xia Donglizai carefully looked at the eggs that were fished out again, and after confirming that there were no small black spots in them, he picked up the bucket and said to the rice, "Come on, rice, we Bury it."

"Ow?"

"Yes, this is the delivery room of the frog mother. Now that the baby has hatched, there is no need for a delivery room."

"Ow..."

"It's okay, the mother frog must be very happy, and we bury it in the soil, so that its life will change into another form and come back."

"Wow!" Dami wagged his tail and walked out of the courtyard first, so Xia Dongli followed him all the way.

Drilling through the bushes and stepping over the weeds, the rice led him to a bend in a mountain road.

The roots of the trees on the ground here are intertwined like coils, and wild flowers of various colors can be seen everywhere dotted in the grass. The afternoon sunlight penetrates the leaves and casts a patch on the ground. The tall ginkgo trees with green leaves stand in the central area, like gentle The elders looked at the person and the dog.

This is apparently a secret garden for dogs.Here, the chirping birds are the lullaby, the flying butterflies are the best toys, and the tree roots are the playground. If you are tired from playing, you can bask in the sun on the soft grass and fall asleep.

"Wow!" Rice shared her favorite little garden with her favorite owner.

So don't be unhappy!

"Thank you!" Xia Dongli was really pleasantly surprised. He squatted down and rubbed the dog's head, and then he walked to the ginkgo tree led by Rice.

This tree is obviously very old, and there are still traces of being split by lightning on the tree. Half of the trunk has been blackened and withered, but the other half is still flourishing, which makes people have to admire the tenacity of life.

Rice and its owner dug a hole under a ginkgo tree, and they put the frog eggs that had completed their mission into the hole.After Xia Dongli filled the soil, Rice raised his hind legs to make a mark.

"Aw!" so I won't forget to put it here in the future!The beautiful shepherd flicked his tail a little proudly.

His owner smiled gently, patted the dog's head and lifted the bucket: "Thank you Rice for bringing me here, it's very beautiful here."

"Wang!"

"By the way, rice, do you know where Teacher Tutu is? It doesn't seem to be at home. Dad has something to talk to Teacher Tutu~"

"Woof..." the dog barked weakly.

"Can't you take me there?"

"Woo~"

A gust of breeze blew, and the old ginkgo tree with something more underfoot shook its leaves, and watched the person and dog leave together gently.
