Xiaoyao Nongjiazi

It's true that he heard his voice before seeing him. As soon as Zhong Qingran heard it, he knew it was Qing Han.He hurriedly opened his hands, twirled around, let go of his strength, and only then caught the fifth younger brother who was rushing towards him like a small cannonball.

Zhong Qingran, the younger brother, was under the control of Zhong Zhengren and the Ming family after Mr. Zhong separated. He was not as lively as before. after.

Look how good it is now!

"Qing Han, come down quickly, he is almost ten years old, how can he be hugged by your brother?" Seeing this, Ming frowned slightly, slightly dissatisfied with such a childish young son.

"Mother, it's okay, Qinghan is still young, and if he grows up a few more years, I'm afraid he won't if I want to hug him." Zhong Qingran weighed the weight of the person in his arms, very satisfied, "Father, mother, big brother, The sun is shining, don’t stand in the yard, hurry up and pick.”

After finishing speaking, Zhong Qingran put down Zhong Qinghan, pulled Zhong Qing over, took one in each hand, led them to the cubs, and said: "Each person is limited to pick one, you must pick the one you like, and they don't hate you."

"Qing Ran, what's the use of raising these?" Zhong Zhengren frowned slightly when he spoke. The family has already raised a lot of poultry and livestock. Looking at the situation here, there are all kinds of animals. Wild animals are difficult to raise. Wouldn't it be bad if something went wrong?But he heard that in the morning, many city guards took one home, if nothing happened, if something happened, why not ask Qingran for an explanation?When he thought of his most capable second son doing such a thankless thing, he felt so worried!

People are selfish, and no one can change that.No matter how good the relationship between the two is, once it comes to the issue of human life, it is normal to turn your face and deny people.Zhong Zhengren has lived for more than [-] years, and has seen many such things, not to mention Pingyang County, Guanghewan Village, it happened more than once.Because of a good relationship, you call people to go to the mountains together or hunt or harvest autumn. As a result, the person calling is fine, but the person being called has something wrong.

What Zhong Qingran did was even more serious. The beasts he sent out were not one or two. How could Zhong Zhengren not be worried?

"Father, don't underestimate them. The little guys are smart. As long as the person who adopts them doesn't give the order to eat people, they won't hurt people casually." Zhong Qingran had already considered this point. There is a dependence.

Zhong Zhengren stared at Qingran with piercing eyes for a long time, and seeing his swearing expression, he didn't ask any more questions.His second son is very capable. Since he promises that there will be no problems, he will trust him once.

Without this worry, Zhong Zhengren also joined the selection process.

Before they finished picking, there was another sound from the gate of Zhong's house.This seemed to be a signal. Not long after Zhong Zhengyi's family arrived, other relatives and friends of Zhong's family followed one after another.Now, the Zhong family became lively. Dozens of people crowded into one courtyard, which was very noisy, like shopping in a vegetable market.

Zhong Qingran's forehead ached from the noise, and he had the urge to help his forehead, but he was helpless.All the people present were related to the Zhong family, so it was impossible for him to directly issue orders to them like Ming Yu faced the city guards.This is not a big deal, and it doesn't make sense to rise to a certain height to deal with it.

In the end, Mr. Zhong came forward to settle the matter.His seniority is there, and now his status is high, and his words are very important, not to mention, it is not easy to arouse their disgust.It was different when Zhong Qingran came forward, they would obey, but it was impossible, like when they faced Mr. Zhong from the bottom of their hearts, they respected him from the bottom of their hearts.After all, they were only Zhong Qingran's relatives and friends, not subordinates. Normally, it was best not to use strong methods to solve the problem.

After all, Zhong Qingran is too young, as the saying goes, he has no hair on his mouth, and he can't do things well. As someone else, I'm afraid they won't even worry about him at all.Of course, this is about major matters, no one dares to question Zhong Qingran's decision, and when he gets along on a daily basis, he will still forget about it from time to time.After a person's fixed thinking is formed, it is not easy to change it. No, this is the situation right now.

Mr. Zhong coughed a few times, pressed his hands down, then put his back behind his back, half-closed his eyes and said, "Okay, what's the noise, it's like a vegetable market, what are you talking about? Qingran went into the mountain and arrested many children. Cubs, everyone comes and picks in the order of first come, first come, and the rest find a shady place to rest by themselves, or go to the main room to sit for a meeting, and it’s not too late to come forward when it’s their turn."

As soon as Mr. Zhong spoke, there was no more commotion in the audience, but he didn't stand upright like the city guards before, and he didn't make a sound.The crowd gathered together in groups of three or four, chatting in low voices, and occasionally they could hear children playing and playing. At first glance, it was quite noisy, but after all, it was much better than before.

There were not many people who entered the main room and took a seat, and most of them were stuck on the edge of the verandah, stretching their necks to watch how Zhong Zhengren's family selected their cubs.There are also people who have the same thought as Zhong Zhengren, who are worried that the beast will not be familiar with it, and it will violently hurt people.

When these words reached Mr. Zhong’s ears, his expression did not change at all, his eyes were still slightly closed, and he explained with a smile: “Anyone who is worried about this probably has nothing to do with ferocious beasts, so you pick the cubs you like, as long as the other party is the same If you like it, you can take it home. Don’t worry, these little guys are smart. As long as they are not taken away forcibly and take good care of them, they will not attack people inexplicably. If you can’t find them and return empty-handed, it can only be your fault It's bad luck, but don't get pissed because of such a little thing. If you want me to know who is so small-minded, if there is a good thing next time, he won't have his share, and then don't blame me. "

In fact, everyone is confused, isn't it just to keep a pet, so it needs such a big fanfare?Judging by Mr. Zhong's meaning, it seems that there is a mystery in it.It's a pity that no one answered these questions. Mr. Zhong's words seemed to be deceptive at first glance, so it's no wonder they believed them.However, you have to listen to what you should listen to. Mr. Zhong has made it clear that under normal circumstances, the chances of them selecting a cub are very low. At least half of them are going for nothing. If the matching rate is acceptable, one can take one home, regardless of the use of these animals, they only know that not everyone can get something, but it is a good thing, and only a fool will push it out.

"Qingran, why did you do this?" Zhong Qingzhu settled in front of Zhong Qingran, stood next to him, winked without saying a word, and finally whispered into his ear.

Seeing Zhong Qingzhu's strange appearance, Zhong Qingran almost couldn't laugh out loud, lo and behold, those small eyes were full of curiosity, almost overflowing their sockets.

Zhong Qingshu didn't speak, and stood quietly on the side, but his eyes were fixed on Zhong Qingran for a moment, and his ears pricked up, obviously ready to eavesdrop openly.

Zhong Qingran hesitated for a moment, and when he had seen enough good shows, he stopped entertaining people and said softly, "You know that my family, Dianbai and Minglei, are smart, right?"

"Is it up to you to say that?" Zhong Qingzhu rolled his eyes and kept urging.

Zhong Qingshu also glanced at Zhong Qingran, the meaning was self-evident.

"What do you think of those horses that have taken Wuguo?" Zhong Qingran ignored the contempt of the two and continued the previous topic.

"Ah? I didn't pay attention to this." Zhong Qingzhu scratched his head with a dazed look on his face, then turned his gaze to Zhong Qingshu, "You are more careful, have you ever observed them?"

"It's just that it's stronger and smarter. Compared with other animals, it doesn't seem to be much different. At least, it can't be compared with your two eagles at all." Zhong Qingshu gave the answer after thinking for a while.

"I've also taken Wuguo, do you know the difference between the two?" Zhong Qingran asked another question.

Zhong Qingzhu's eyes widened, impatient, and almost jumped his feet: "Oh, Qingran, you weren't such a sluggish temper before, why are you torturing people so much today? Just say what you want, what's the point of jumping out like this?" What's going on?"

This time, even Zhong Qingshu was aroused, the corners of his eyes were raised slightly, and he looked at Zhong Qingran with great interest, ready to listen attentively.

"I'm just guessing about this matter. If I guess wrong, you have the right to ignore it and just listen to it." Zhong Qingran said truthfully, and it was because this matter had not been confirmed that he didn't care about it, "Dianbai and Ming When Lei was brought back by Mingyu, he was much smarter than ordinary animals. The small animals I brought back this time also have this characteristic. Due to the large number, I haven’t spent a long time with them. I don’t know how spiritual they are. , I can only talk about it later. However, as far as I have observed these days, most of the cubs here should not be as good as Dianbai and Minglei, but they are far superior to ordinary animals. As for the rest, I am not sure."

What Zhong Qingran didn't say was that his intuition told him that among all the animals, Dianbai and Minglei had the strongest spirituality.What is even less known is that the two eagles now follow Zhong Qingran or Jian Mingyu to learn three or five characters every day, and they can remember at least one of them the next day.So far, Dianbai and Minglei have learned the eleven numbers from one to ten. Not only can they recognize them, but they can also write them on the ground with their paws. In addition, they also know some common characters, such as them and Zhong Names of family members, items such as cattle and sheep refer to names.

Today, the two eagles are really no different from teenagers except that they can't talk.Only Zhong Qingran and Jian Mingyu knew about this matter, and even Mr. Zhong and his wife were kept in the dark.It's not that Zhong Qingran doesn't trust the two elders, it's really unnecessary.

Zhong Qingran still wanted to let Mr. Zhong and his wife enjoy their old age in peace. Knowing too much is not good, and ignorance is a blessing. This is actually quite reasonable.The more he knows, the more complicated his thoughts become, just like when a child grows up, it is difficult to retain his childish heart. He doesn't want Mr. Zhong to worry about the things he can solve by himself at his age.

"Really?" Zhong Qingzhu couldn't calm down when he heard this, and looked at the cub with a pair of small eyes from time to time.

"Ah."

Zhong Qingshu was different from Zhong Qingzhu, he thought more, and when he heard this, his pupils constricted suddenly, with a sense of horror inside.He has also taken Wuguo himself, and the effect is obvious, but just like those horses, the enhancement is not obvious, so he didn't pay much attention to it.Others may not know about the changes between Dianbai and Minglei, but he and Qingzhu are the two who have gotten closer together, but they understand it best.

Originally, the two eagles were obviously much smarter than other animals, and since they ate the fog fruit, their smartness has risen in a straight line.Even if he and Qingzhu get up occasionally and tease them, the two eagles will give a clear response, which was not the case before.

If it's just that, then that's fine.However, he thought deeply and thought further. At this moment, Zhong Qingshu's thoughts were in line with Zhong Qingran's and Jian Mingyu's, and he also thought of the worst situation.This was Zhong Qingshu's reaction when he didn't know that he was close to the mountains and forests of Fucheng, and there was also a strange place like Foggy Valley, otherwise, his mood swings would only be greater.

You must know that Zhong Qingran did not hide the matter of Wugu and Wuguo, and there are quite a few people who know about it.Others don't know how powerful Dianbai and Minglei are, they just think they have a good sense of direction and nothing else.Therefore, although everyone is extremely envious of Wuguo's effect, it is still within the acceptable range of normal people, and they will not find it strange. If they know the change of the two eagles, what will happen?

It was also because of the seriousness of the matter that Zhong Qingran had to establish a good relationship with these little guys before he dared to let them take them away. He spent a lot of luck, time and effort in searching for the cubs back from the mountains.Another point is, if it is not a coincidence, it is afraid that it will be difficult for anyone to find out that these animals are so smart that they can read. Without this, if they are stronger and smarter, don't worry about causing more riots .

"Don't look, it will be your turn and Qingshu's turn in a while, don't look at those mighty beasts, you won't be able to walk, if they don't like them, everything will be in vain." Zhong Qingran emphasized seriously.He is not worried about Qing Shu, but not Qing Zhu, he has to be vaccinated first to prevent him from choosing randomly.

Zhong Qingran was chatting quietly with his two good brothers on this side, while Jian Mingyu was acting as a supervisor on the other side.With his supervision, everyone's every move can't escape his sharp eyes.

Zhong Qingran wanted to take care of his relatives and friends, but if it was really inappropriate, he would not waste these precious resources.No, there was a child who didn't choose anything. Seeing that many people had it, but he didn't, he picked one up and planned to get away with it, but was caught by Jian Mingyu, and finally was taken away by his parents crying. .Such a thing is not unique, nor is it limited to children.

Maybe they didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, who made Zhong Qingran not explain it clearly?Regarding this, Zhong Qingran could only laugh it off, and those who didn't know it wouldn't be guilty, as long as he and Mingyu checked it out.

After a while of fuss, everyone finished the selection, and some people were happy while others were worried.Of course, those who are happy are those who embrace small animals, whether it is ferocious birds and beasts, or small bugs that look extremely inconspicuous, since there is something to gain, both parties must have a good impression of each other.As long as someone has feelings of disdain and disdain for the cubs, how can they rush to ask for guilt based on their keen senses?

Children who have classes in the afternoon go home first, and the rest are not in a hurry. They wait until all the small animals have eaten the Wuguo before returning home in twos and threes.

A few days later, Zhong Qingran looked helplessly at the large number of bugs in the East Wing.Birds and beasts are very popular, but insects are not. No one likes them, and it is impossible for him to force the city residents to choose.Now that there have been three rounds of selection, these are probably given away for free, but no suitable candidate can be found, so Zhong Qingran can only consume internally.

Zhong Qingran asked people to make several beehives, so that the person who got the bees would have one.Of course, there is only one queen bee for each type of bee. If he hadn't gone deep into the forest and searched deliberately, he might not be able to find them all.

Many bugs live in groups, and bees are no exception.Such creatures have one thing in common, that is, in a population, only the king or queen of the population has the ability to reproduce.Therefore, except for those who are lucky enough to get the queen bee, other people have to stop collecting delicious honey on a regular basis.

For them, the beehive is just a home for the bees and serves no other purpose.Fortunately, the person who got the worker bees said that it is not impossible to take a little honey for their own use when they get hungry occasionally.The people who get the drones will be miserable. The drones are useless except to mate with the queen bee. The rations they rely on for survival-honey is also collected by worker bees.In other words, the drones still have to be raised by their owners. I just don't know if these habits will change after taking the misty fruit. If not, it seems that keeping drones is useless.

Zhong Qingran can't take care of these things for the time being, and he doesn't need to take care of them. Things that don't adapt to nature will soon be eliminated by nature.As long as creatures like drones have a little effect on people, there is no need to worry about these.

Honey-producing bees and silk-spinning silkworms are two kinds of insects that Zhong Qingran pays special attention to.The latter is relatively simple to deal with. Like other birds and beasts, as long as the male and female are matched, they can continue to reproduce.On this point, bees are naturally the same. Its special feature is that each bee colony can only have one queen bee. If a new queen bee is born, it will be driven out to build another nest. Two mature queen bees seem to be unable to live in peace.

It can be seen that the importance of the queen bee is extraordinary.In view of this, Zhong Qingran left a queen bee, a few drones and some worker bees for his family. After they settled down in the beehive, they would form a bee colony over time, whether it was honey or royal jelly, it was just around the corner.He chose this way not because of anything else, but because the bees can produce a lot of honey.

Honey is extremely healthy, and no one knows what kind of changes will happen to these little things that only have a short lifespan after eating the mist fruit, which may affect the quality of the honey they collect.

Looking at the leftover bugs, Zhong Qingran didn't know what to do with them. It's impossible to keep them locked in the basket, right?But if it is released, he is not at ease.Unless they are well hidden, they will either be destroyed humanely or hurt people. After all, they are not much different from ordinary bugs in appearance.How likely is it that people see bugs that are an eyesore and let them go?When he thinks about it, stepping on it, the possibility is even higher.

Forget it, feed them fog fruits first, if they are really smart enough to communicate with people, after Zhong Qingran finds a way to persuade them not to kill each other, he will make a room for them to live in.Otherwise, the bugs would fight each other, and his hard work would be in vain.Zhong Qingran's heart aches when he thinks that a lot of good luck will be wasted in vain.

Seeing that the matter of dealing with the cubs had come to an end, Zhong Qingran picked one, and on a sunny day, he took Jian Mingyu on a fishing boat and prepared to go to sea.

"Qing Ran, everything is ready, let's go." Jian Mingyu was wearing a straw hat and holding a rattan basket in one hand, standing at the door of the main room with a smile on his face.

"Let's go." Zhong Qingran was also in a good mood, casually took a basket from Ming Yu's hand, and strode towards the backyard.

The distance from Fucheng to the pier is not close, and with horses as means of transportation, it does not take much time.

Originally, there were only two pitiful boats moored at the pier, one of which was a small boat that could only take a few people.Today, the wharf is no longer depressed, not to mention the people coming and going, the boats shuttle constantly, at least it looks decent, at least, it will not make people feel that the wharf is very bleak.

After the two boarded the fishing boat rented in advance and slowly drove away from the pier, Zhong Qingran said abruptly, "Mingyu, you often go hunting in Lushan Mountain. Have you ever heard or seen anything that makes you feel unbelievable?"

Jian Mingyu thought for a while, then shook his head in denial.

"Then have you ever seen such intelligent animals as Dianbai and Minglei?" Zhong Qingran said quietly.He didn't know what kind of answer he wanted to get when he asked this question.

Jian Mingyu shook his head again.

As Zhong Qingran uttered these two questions, the atmosphere on the boat gradually became solemn.Things that have never been encountered before, are encountered by them again and again, is this considered good luck or bad luck?Zhong Qingran didn't believe that after he got the Lucky Fortune Pearl, he would still encounter bad luck, but judging from his experience, good and bad always depended on each other.He could only think that without the Lucky Fortune Pearl, he would not be able to turn bad luck into good luck, and the situation would only get worse.On the whole, he himself is actually quite lucky.

The problem is, there is always a law in everything. How can Zhong Qingran take it lightly when a particularly intelligent animal suddenly appears, as well as a fog fruit that seems to be specially prepared for it?What does their appearance mean?He thought about it, but couldn't think of a reason.

It’s not that Zhong Qingran never thought of using the ability of the Lucky Bead, but in the end, the Lucky Bead didn’t respond to it, no, it should be said that there was an obvious response, the red warning words—luck is not enough, the host is sure To enable this ability?Displayed in Zhong Qingran's sea of ​​consciousness, he was so frightened that he hurriedly chose whether or not.This scene is still vivid in my mind, and every time Zhong Qingran thinks about it, he still has lingering fears.

Without getting the answer from the lucky beads, Zhong Qingran could only guess out of thin air.Unfortunately, there are too many possibilities, no matter how hard he racks his brains, he still cannot be sure where this world will develop in the future.He can only try his best to develop Fucheng and reserve more supplies to deal with any emergencies.
