Xiaoyao Nongjiazi
Chapter 89
Hanhai Prefecture is inaccessible, and Zhong Qingran doesn't know its specific terrain, but as far as the eye can see, it is an endless grassland. It is estimated that there will be wolves infested. The security issue needs to be solved first, so the village must build a wall around it.
This is not difficult. Now that the population is small, the village should be made smaller. When the population increases in the future, it will expand outward.There is no need to tear down the walls, the original village is directly regarded as a workshop, and in the future, it will be expanded one by one like Fu Village, and when the scale is large enough, a city wall will be built to surround all the workshops.
Zhong Qingran wrote and drew for a long time, and finally gave a clear outline of the future plan.Looking at the layout of the village, and the plans that might be realized immediately, or that he might not be able to witness with his own eyes in his entire life, Zhong Qingran felt a sense of accomplishment.A village has grown from scratch, and it was realized under his leadership. This kind of opportunity is not available to everyone, and Zhong Qingran is just right.
Before, Zhong Qingran didn't even think about these things.Most of the people are content with the status quo, and those who make progress, at best, try to get ahead, but so what?Even if you are an extremely human minister, isn't it possible to deprive him of everything with a single sentence today?
Now it's alright, although Hanhai Prefecture is not as large and abundant as the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the living environment is even worse, Zhong Qingran feels at ease!
Here, no one can decide his life or death with a single word. After coming to the Great Zhou Dynasty, the faint sense of uneasiness disappeared the moment he set foot on Hanhai Prefecture.
With the disappearance of the mountain pressing on the top of his head, Zhong Qingran's mood was brighter than ever before, and he felt that everything was extraordinarily beautiful. It seemed that the day was bluer, the mountain was greener, and the water was clearer... Even the empty residence full of weeds was destroyed. He sees flowers.
The sensitivity of a person's thinking has a lot to do with the state.Zhong Qingran feels that his work efficiency is much higher than before, and his thinking is more comprehensive and in line with the status quo.
"Qingran, don't be too busy, come out to eat." Tong Shi greeted loudly outside the tent.
"Oh, Grandma, I'll be right there." Zhong Qingran put away the pens and papers one by one. At present, these things are used less and less, so it's impossible not to cherish them.
Zhong Qingran squinted his eyes slightly to look at the sky, he was so absorbed just now that he didn't realize that it was already noon.In the past, dinner was served at home early at this o'clock, and there were too many things to do today, so it was delayed until now.
At present, everyone eats in two ways. People who come from Hewan Village with Zhong Qingran, except Zhong Qingzhu and Zhong Qingshu, eat separately, and Zhong Qingran provides the meals for the boatmen and craftsmen.There was no way, most of them only brought their luggage, who would eat Zhong Qingran if they didn't?You can't bring them here all the way, and let them eat, right?
Zhong Qingran pondered, this is probably because the third prince wanted him to gather them as soon as possible. When he was changing boats at Qishan Wharf, Zhao Qing replenished him with a lot of food, but he didn't arrange some for the boatmen and craftsmen. He didn't believe it was Zhao Qing Forget about it.
But going on like this is definitely not enough, not to mention that five of the seven households are very poor, and it is estimated that if they save food, they may not be able to eat until next year.But is now the time to save food?Building a house and opening up wasteland requires a lot of physical support. If you don't eat enough, how can you get the strength to work?
The boatmen and craftsmen are even more troublesome. It is not enough to just feed them. In addition to food, they also have clothing, housing and transportation. Living is no problem, and it will be resolved in a short time. Could it be that he also covers all the clothing and transportation?Isn't this a big pot meal?
This kind of prospect is not very good. Eating a big pot of rice can easily make people slack off. Since it is the same to do more or less, who is willing to work diligently?More importantly, without private property, where does this person come from for motivation?Only when there are clear rewards and punishments, and there are enough upward channels to ensure the safety of their private property, can Fucun develop for a long time.
It was very troublesome to deal with this issue, Zhong Qingran couldn't decide by himself, he had to discuss it with his family.
"Grandma, what are you having for lunch today? By the way, grandpa and Mingyu haven't come back yet?" Zhong Qingran walked to the temporary stove and helped Mrs. Tong serve the meals.
"They're all back, they've been busy all morning and their bodies are a little dirty, so they went to clean up by the river." Tong's brows and eyes were smiling, and she finally settled down. ?
"Grandmother, today's dishes are so rich!" Zhong Qingran lifted the tureen to have a sneak peek, who would have thought that this would be a pleasant surprise for him.
The fresh water on the boat had to be sparingly used, even Zhong Qingran and the others could only eat soupy food every now and then.This time, Tong made two bowls of soup directly, one bowl of chicken and mushroom soup, and one bowl of pork rib soup. The bright color alone attracted his attention, not to mention the tangy aroma, if it wasn't for him He has grown up long ago and has enough self-control. He is afraid that he has been pestering adults to eat.
Having had enough of eye addiction, Zhong Qingran covered the food with food.It hasn't been long since the snow has melted in Fucun, and the temperature is still very low. Without a cover, the food will be cold in a short time.
Sensing the scorching sight, Zhong Qingran looked up and found that at some point, there was a circle of children around him, the smaller ones were biting their fingers, with a trace of crystal hanging from the corners of their mouths, and the older ones were swallowing saliva unconsciously. , I haven't seen a bigger one, I guess he is sensible, even if he wants it in his heart, he won't hang around other people's dinner table.
Zhong Qingran knew that most of these were children of the Qihu clan, and it was normal for them to be greedy.Of course, that doesn't mean these restaurants don't have meat.When they left Hewan Village, they took all the poultry and livestock with them, and after they left, the Zhong family also sent some to each family. It was impossible to say that there was no meat at all, but they just couldn't bear to eat it.
Zhong Qingran glanced at the food quantity, and finally decided to ignore it.It's not that he's stingy, it's that Jian Mingyu eats a lot, and Hanhai Prefecture has money and no place to spend it, how dare Tong's waste food at will?So I ate according to the family's food intake, with only a little extra.
It is estimated that there will be very little left of the food in front of Jian Mingyu after being raided by Jian Mingyu. If the food is distributed to the little ones now, Jian Mingyu may not be able to eat enough.And if I gave it this time, next time they will come around, will I give it or not?If this happens every time, I am afraid it will give them the wrong signal, which is not good for their growth.
Zhong Qingran didn't intend to use his own things to subsidize others, he would give them a lot of what should be given to them, and he would not just take advantage of what he shouldn't.After all, it was all his hard earned money, not the flood.
It seems that he has to fix various rules and regulations as soon as possible so that Fucun can run smoothly as soon as possible.
Although he didn't intend to share the meat with them, Zhong Qingran still couldn't calm down completely. He went back to the tent and found a few pieces of dried fruit, one for each child, and sent them all back.It is not a good feeling to have so many eyes staring at him while eating, he is afraid that he will have indigestion.
"Old man, hurry to the table, why have you been here for so long, and the food is almost cold?" Tong Shi kept looking towards the river, watching the three figures approaching from a distance, and shouted loudly.
"It's okay, I just chatted with Fu Shan a few more words." Mr. Zhong didn't say much, picked up the bowl and picked up the chopsticks, signaling the rest of the people to start.
Jian Mingchen is the youngest, and lives with his elder brother at Ge Lang's house. He usually pays attention so as not to cause trouble to Jian Mingyu. Just like eating, he will eat after everyone has moved their chopsticks.
Zhong Qingran didn't care about these little things, but Jian Mingchen's behavior obviously made Mr. Zhong and his wife very satisfied.It's not that the two elders can't tolerate a child. Since they let him live with them, they won't deliberately target him. It's just that no one wants to raise a white-eyed wolf. It is only right and proper for the Zhong family to raise him.
"Grandpa, do you want to have a dinner together tonight?" Zhong Qingran suggested while eating.
Mr. Zhong pondered for a moment, and asked a very practical question: "Is the food provided by my family?"
"Well, no matter what the reason is, they followed us to Hanhai Prefecture, we are also proud of them daring to enter the Yunwu Strait. They are far away from their homeland, and they may not be able to return to their hometown in this life. We can't let them feel cold. As for the end, people's hearts are gone." After finishing speaking, Zhong Qingran got up to add food, but Tong Shi and Jian Mingyu wanted to help, but he stopped them.
Seeing Zhong Qingran take his seat again, Mr. Zhong said in a low voice: "Our food can support everyone at most, and we can eat it until next spring. If this year's harvest is not good, next year's life will not be too easy."
"Grandpa, don't worry, as long as the land here can grow things, you don't have to worry about running out of food." Zhong Qingran said very firmly.He's not talking empty words, he really has confidence.Even if the land output is not satisfactory, he has a solution.
The vegetation on the mountain is lush and lush, and the soil quality must be good. If the field really can't grow anything, go to the mountain to dig the soil.He is not afraid that doing so will bring harm to the mountains and forests. There are so many mountains, how many people are there in Fu Village?With their little manpower, how much can they plant as much as they want?
"As long as you have success in your heart, then do as you say." After two years, Mr. Zhong has long believed in the third grandson's words.
"Mingyu, did you encounter any prey when you went up the mountain this morning?" Zhong Qingran turned his gaze to Jian Mingyu who was sitting next to him.
"I saw a few goats, roe deer, and pheasants. I was busy cutting down trees and didn't touch them. How much do I want? I'll go hunting in the afternoon." Jian Mingyu understood Zhong Qingran's meaning as soon as he heard it, and asked him before he could speak. up.
"There are 150 people in the village. Most of them are strong laborers. You can do what you want. You don't need to look for them. Just hunt some." Zhong Qingran said casually, he didn't intend to let the villagers eat meat to their fullest.
The productivity of the Great Zhou Dynasty was like that. Not to mention the relatives who followed the Zhong family, even the captain Zhou Ming didn’t eat very well. If he wanted to have meat for his meals, he didn’t even think about it before.
Everyone doesn't have much oil in their stomachs. If you eat too much at once, your stomach will probably be overwhelmed. This is a bad thing done with good intentions. There are still many things to do tomorrow. How can few people do it?
"Wow!"
Zhong Qingran set up the awning with his hands and looked up at the sky: "Dianbai is back."
After watching for a while, Zhong Qingran frowned. Why are the two eagles so stubborn? Seeing how they flew wobbly, they probably caught prey beyond their carrying range.
Jian Mingyu saw it too, but after a while, the point white shook even more, and was about to fall, so he hurriedly put down his job and trotted over to meet it.
Seeing the owner, Dianbai's mind relaxed, and he couldn't lift his strength anymore, and his body fell straight down.
Seeing this, Jian Mingyu hurriedly shouted: "Dianbai, throw away the prey, throw it away quickly."
It's a pity that it's still a little far away, so I can't hear clearly.Jian Mingyu flew towards Dianbai, he couldn't figure it out, the two eagles were very smart, so Dianbai couldn't have thought of this, could it be that it couldn't lose its prey?
Zhong Qingran was also in a hurry, so he put down his job and ran over there.Although these two hawks usually ignore him, they still listen to him very much. After raising them for more than a year, they have developed a relationship early, and he doesn't want to see it have an accident.
The intelligence level of Dianbai and Minglei is equivalent to that of a six or seven-year-old child. Tell them a few more times, and they will be able to complete his and Jian Mingyu's instructions very well. Without them, Zhong Qingran and his wife will probably feel uncomfortable for a while.
Seeing Zhong Qingran and Jian Mingyu running towards it in a hurry, Dianbai was very happy. He blew several times to vent his joy in his heart, and gathered his strength back. He flapped his wings vigorously and stabilized his fall for a while, but the good times didn't last long. , Dianbai fell again, this time it was even worse than before, it was completely out of strength, it couldn't even wave its wings, and the fall was astonishing.
There was water in Jian Mingyu's eyes, his legs were running upside down, and he ran forward desperately, as if he could help Dianbai out of the predicament in the past.
Zhong Qingran stopped in his tracks, this was not going to work, even if Jian Mingyu could catch Dianbai, it would only add one more person to the accident, and Dianbai couldn't catch him, which meant that the prey weighed tens of catties at least, and it was a thousand meters away. Falling from a high altitude, the terrifying kinetic energy, can't you smash people to the ground?
The only thing Zhong Qingran could think of was the Fortune Pearl. It was far enough away that it was difficult for the villagers to see clearly. He quickly made a copper net bag with a long handle, holding the long handle in both hands, so that the net bag appeared directly under the point white, and the prey fell. The moment he entered the net, Zhong Qingran felt a tremendous lifting force and almost lifted him into the sky. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and added a large piece of copper to the end of the long handle, and then pressed the whole body on it until the prey was removed. Then he retracted the copper block, held the long handle again, and slowly lowered the net bag to the ground.
As soon as Dianbai landed, Zhong Qingran turned the copper net bag back into luck.After doing this, he wiped his forehead with the back of his hand and let out a long sigh of relief.He shouldn't be holding the net bag by himself just now, he should have inserted it into the ground from the very beginning, who told him to be so quick and thoughtless, he deserved to suffer like this. It swelled up due to overuse.
Panting heavily, Jian Mingyu stepped forward to check.Sure enough, he guessed right, Dianbai's claws were tightly connected to the prey antelope, and they were inseparable.Looking at the situation, he reckoned that after hunting the antelope in vain, he followed what he and Qingran did and tied the antelope up with a rope, and ended up carrying it around, but wrapped himself in it. Didn't realize something was wrong until exhausted, when it was too late.As for where the rope came from, he didn't know, did he bring the rope with him when he went out?
Jian Mingyu released Dianbai from the rope, and Dianbai yelled at him with grievances in his eyes.At this time, it was hard for Jian Mingyu to say anything. If he wanted to teach him a lesson, he had to wait until Bai's mood stabilized.This time it might have been frightened. If it fears the sky from now on, it will be like losing the ability to survive for the eagle.
After comforting Dianbai, Jian Mingyu picked up the rope and carefully identified it. This is a very ordinary hemp rope. Judging from the wear and tear, it should have been used for some time.Seeing that no useful information could be obtained from it, Jian Mingyu wrapped it around his hands, holding Dianbai in one hand, and walking back with the antelope in the other.
Soon, Jian Mingyu and Zhong Qingran met, seeing him frowning his eyebrows from time to time, Jian Mingyu asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
Zhong Qingran stretched out his red and swollen hands and looked at Jian Mingyu eagerly. The meaning couldn't be more obvious. He wanted Jian Mingyu's comfort and praise.
"How did you do it?" Jian Mingyu put down the white and the prey in his hands, and gently grabbed Zhong Qingran's wrist to check carefully. Seeing that no bones were injured, he was relieved, "It couldn't be because of the Internet cafe just now?"
Zhong Qingran nodded, then glared fiercely at Dianbai who didn't know that he had caused trouble. In order to save it, he sacrificed his life today.Even if he doesn't have to do physical work, but his hands are so swollen that he can't even hold a pen, that's a waste of time, isn't it?
Jian Mingyu hugged Qibai again, and said to Zhong Qingran, "Go, I'll give you medicine when you go back."
At this time, many villagers gathered at the entrance of the village with their rice bowls in their hands to look around. Seeing that Zhong Qingran and Jian Mingyu were fine, they soon left.
"Qing Ran, what's the matter with your hands?" Seeing the third grandson went out for a trip, then got into the tent when he came back, and his hands were wrapped in gauze when he came out again, Tong's heart skipped a beat.
Mr. Zhong's eyes were also full of worry.
"Grandpa, grandma, it's okay, it's just that I used too much force just now, and my hands are swollen. Mingyu has already applied medicine to me, and the swelling will go away in a few hours." Zhong Qingran hurriedly comforted the two elders, but don't rush into anything things come.
"Oh, that's good. Be careful next time." Mr. Zhong did not forget to remind him.
"Well, I'll pay attention." Zhong Qingran didn't want to suffer another avoidable crime, so he deserved his sincerity.
Seeing that Zhong Qingran was fine, Tong Shi stopped staring at him, got up and went to the stove: "Mingyu, I'll warm the food in the pot, you come over and serve it together."
Zhong Qingran is now a patient with temporarily disabled hands, and can only accept feeding from Jian Mingyu.Fortunately, he had almost eaten before, so the time of being served like this did not last long.
After feeding Zhong Qingran, Jian Mingyu got up and cut some raw meat for Dianbai, and cooked another piece in the pot.
In fact, Dianbai and Minglei prefer to eat cooked meat. In order not to let the two eagles lose the ability to survive alone, Jian Mingyu can only ignore their painful expressions when eating raw meat.
But this time it was different, Jian Mingyu fed him some raw meat, but it didn't respond much.
This bit of white is too weird, it knows that it has caused trouble, and is trying to reduce its sense of existence, so that the other master will not criticize it harshly for this point.Look, your hands are tightly wrapped in gauze, and you have to be fed even to eat. How serious is this injury?Thinking that if his two paws were made like this, it would tremble all over.
After finishing all this work, Jian Mingyu sat down at the table again, and said to Tong Shi who was busy at the side: "Grandma, please take a look at the pot, I will eat the meal first."
"Okay, don't worry, eat slowly, I will watch the fire." Mrs. Tong took a handful of thatch and sat in front of the stove, watching the fire while weaving thatch.
Zhong Qingran has nothing to do now, so he went around to his father's place, and besides gaining a lot of care, he didn't forget to take Zhong Qinghan with him before he left.
"Third Brother, where are we going?" Zhong Qinghan held a fishing rod in his left hand and a bucket in his right, and followed Zhong Qingran staggeringly.
"Go to the pier. Let's go to the entrance of the village first, and then we'll take a carriage there." Everyone was so busy that they didn't touch the ground. Zhong Qingran didn't want to hang around in the village alone. I got a job - sea fishing.
The beach cannot be used for sea fishing, that's why Zhong Qingran went to the pier, the water is deep enough, and no one has visited for a long time, maybe he can really catch seafood.
The two brothers Zhong Qingran didn't wait long, and the carriage set off towards the pier. There were still many young and strong people traveling with them. They had to move all the supplies that the village needed at present into the village, but food and the like could be slowed down.If not many people are willing to stay on board, they don't have to move in such a hurry, but they have stayed at sea for too long, and even the ground shakes when they get off the boat. They have had enough, and probably no one will return in a short time. Interested in going to sea.
After arriving at the pier, Zhong Qingran found a place far away from the boat, and asked Qinghan to bait the hook, then cast out the fishing line, and then inserted the fishing rod into the soil, while the two brothers sat on the shore and waited quietly.
"Third brother, is this really possible?" Zhong Qinghan's small face was wrinkled into a ball. He grew up so big, and he had never seen anyone in the village fishing like this.
"Should it work?" Zhong Qingran was not sure, but as long as there was a fish biting the bait, it would not be a problem to pull the fish up. He tampered with the whole fishing rod. It seemed that it was only inserted into the soil for a short distance, but it was actually not deep into the soil.
Sitting was quite boring. After all, Zhong Qinghan was a little young, and he could still sit still among his peers. It was indeed difficult for him to let him go fishing when he had something to do.Zhong Qingran drew a fish for him to copy, and the two brothers stared at the fishing rod while the other graffitied on the ground.
"Third brother, haven't you moved yet?" Zhong Qinghan had already drawn two fish, but Zhong Qingran didn't make any movement at all. Zhong Qinghan couldn't help but admire his third brother a little more. If he was to let him sit like this, he would probably get annoyed soon. up.
"It's still early, maybe there will be fish biting the hook in a while." As soon as Zhong Qingran finished speaking, the fishing rod was slightly bent, and he stepped on the fishing rod quickly, "Qing Han, you can find someone to help third brother Pull the fish."
Zhong Qinghan immediately dropped the grass stalk and ran towards the pier.
Not long after, Zhong Qingran heard footsteps behind him.He looked back and saw Zhong Qinghan brought Zhou Ming over.
"It seems to be a big guy. Be careful not to be dragged down." Zhong Qingran reminded.
Zhou Ming pulled the fishing rod out of the mud. The guy in the sea was tossed for a while, and his strength was reduced. For Zhou Ming, the burden was not so big. Finally, Zhou Ming flicked the fishing rod vigorously, and a figure was thrown ashore.
"Third Brother, what is this?" Zhong Qinghan ran up to take a look, but was so startled that he trembled when he spoke.
This is not difficult. Now that the population is small, the village should be made smaller. When the population increases in the future, it will expand outward.There is no need to tear down the walls, the original village is directly regarded as a workshop, and in the future, it will be expanded one by one like Fu Village, and when the scale is large enough, a city wall will be built to surround all the workshops.
Zhong Qingran wrote and drew for a long time, and finally gave a clear outline of the future plan.Looking at the layout of the village, and the plans that might be realized immediately, or that he might not be able to witness with his own eyes in his entire life, Zhong Qingran felt a sense of accomplishment.A village has grown from scratch, and it was realized under his leadership. This kind of opportunity is not available to everyone, and Zhong Qingran is just right.
Before, Zhong Qingran didn't even think about these things.Most of the people are content with the status quo, and those who make progress, at best, try to get ahead, but so what?Even if you are an extremely human minister, isn't it possible to deprive him of everything with a single sentence today?

Here, no one can decide his life or death with a single word. After coming to the Great Zhou Dynasty, the faint sense of uneasiness disappeared the moment he set foot on Hanhai Prefecture.
With the disappearance of the mountain pressing on the top of his head, Zhong Qingran's mood was brighter than ever before, and he felt that everything was extraordinarily beautiful. It seemed that the day was bluer, the mountain was greener, and the water was clearer... Even the empty residence full of weeds was destroyed. He sees flowers.
The sensitivity of a person's thinking has a lot to do with the state.Zhong Qingran feels that his work efficiency is much higher than before, and his thinking is more comprehensive and in line with the status quo.
"Qingran, don't be too busy, come out to eat." Tong Shi greeted loudly outside the tent.
"Oh, Grandma, I'll be right there." Zhong Qingran put away the pens and papers one by one. At present, these things are used less and less, so it's impossible not to cherish them.

At present, everyone eats in two ways. People who come from Hewan Village with Zhong Qingran, except Zhong Qingzhu and Zhong Qingshu, eat separately, and Zhong Qingran provides the meals for the boatmen and craftsmen.There was no way, most of them only brought their luggage, who would eat Zhong Qingran if they didn't?You can't bring them here all the way, and let them eat, right?
Zhong Qingran pondered, this is probably because the third prince wanted him to gather them as soon as possible.

"Grandma, what are you having for lunch today? By the way, grandpa and Mingyu haven't come back yet?" Zhong Qingran walked to the temporary stove and helped Mrs. Tong serve the meals.
"They're all back, they've been busy all morning and their bodies are a little dirty, so they went to clean up by the river." Tong's brows and eyes were smiling, and she finally settled down. ?
"Grandmother, today's dishes are so rich!" Zhong Qingran lifted the tureen to have a sneak peek, who would have thought that this would be a pleasant surprise for him.
The fresh water on the boat had to be sparingly used, even Zhong Qingran and the others could only eat soupy food every now and then.This time, Tong made two bowls of soup directly, one bowl of chicken and mushroom soup, and one bowl of pork rib soup. The bright color alone attracted his attention, not to mention the tangy aroma, if it wasn't for him He has grown up long ago and has enough self-control. He is afraid that he has been pestering adults to eat.
Having had enough of eye addiction, Zhong Qingran covered the food with food.It hasn't been long since the snow has melted in Fucun, and the temperature is still very low. Without a cover, the food will be cold in a short time.

"Grandpa, don't worry, as long as the land here can grow things, you don't have to worry about running out of food." Zhong Qingran said very firmly.He's not talking empty words, he really has confidence.Even if the land output is not satisfactory, he has a solution.
The vegetation on the mountain is lush and lush, and the soil quality must be good. If the field really can't grow anything, go to the mountain to dig the soil.He is not afraid that doing so will bring harm to the mountains and forests. There are so many mountains, how many people are there in Fu Village?With their little manpower, how much can they plant as much as they want?
"As long as you have success in your heart, then do as you say." After two years, Mr. Zhong has long believed in the third grandson's words.
"Mingyu, did you encounter any prey when you went up the mountain this morning?" Zhong Qingran turned his gaze to Jian Mingyu who was sitting next to him.
"I saw a few goats, roe deer, and pheasants. I was busy cutting down trees and didn't touch them. How much do I want? I'll go hunting in the afternoon." Jian Mingyu understood Zhong Qingran's meaning as soon as he heard it, and asked him before he could speak. up.
"There are 150 people in the village. Most of them are strong laborers. You can do what you want. You don't need to look for them. Just hunt some." Zhong Qingran said casually, he didn't intend to let the villagers eat meat to their fullest.
The productivity of the Great Zhou Dynasty was like that. Not to mention the relatives who followed the Zhong family, even the captain Zhou Ming didn’t eat very well. If he wanted to have meat for his meals, he didn’t even think about it before.
Everyone doesn't have much oil in their stomachs. If you eat too much at once, your stomach will probably be overwhelmed. This is a bad thing done with good intentions. There are still many things to do tomorrow. How can few people do it?
"Wow!"
Zhong Qingran set up the awning with his hands and looked up at the sky: "Dianbai is back."
After watching for a while, Zhong Qingran frowned. Why are the two eagles so stubborn? Seeing how they flew wobbly, they probably caught prey beyond their carrying range.
Jian Mingyu saw it too, but after a while, the point white shook even more, and was about to fall, so he hurriedly put down his job and trotted over to meet it.
Seeing the owner, Dianbai's mind relaxed, and he couldn't lift his strength anymore, and his body fell straight down.
Seeing this, Jian Mingyu hurriedly shouted: "Dianbai, throw away the prey, throw it away quickly."
It's a pity that it's still a little far away, so I can't hear clearly.Jian Mingyu flew towards Dianbai, he couldn't figure it out, the two eagles were very smart, so Dianbai couldn't have thought of this, could it be that it couldn't lose its prey?
Zhong Qingran was also in a hurry, so he put down his job and ran over there.Although these two hawks usually ignore him, they still listen to him very much. After raising them for more than a year, they have developed a relationship early, and he doesn't want to see it have an accident.
The intelligence level of Dianbai and Minglei is equivalent to that of a six or seven-year-old child. Tell them a few more times, and they will be able to complete his and Jian Mingyu's instructions very well. Without them, Zhong Qingran and his wife will probably feel uncomfortable for a while.
Seeing Zhong Qingran and Jian Mingyu running towards it in a hurry, Dianbai was very happy. He blew several times to vent his joy in his heart, and gathered his strength back. He flapped his wings vigorously and stabilized his fall for a while, but the good times didn't last long. , Dianbai fell again, this time it was even worse than before, it was completely out of strength, it couldn't even wave its wings, and the fall was astonishing.
There was water in Jian Mingyu's eyes, his legs were running upside down, and he ran forward desperately, as if he could help Dianbai out of the predicament in the past.
Zhong Qingran stopped in his tracks, this was not going to work, even if Jian Mingyu could catch Dianbai, it would only add one more person to the accident, and Dianbai couldn't catch him, which meant that the prey weighed tens of catties at least, and it was a thousand meters away. Falling from a high altitude, the terrifying kinetic energy, can't you smash people to the ground?
The only thing Zhong Qingran could think of was the Fortune Pearl. It was far enough away that it was difficult for the villagers to see clearly. He quickly made a copper net bag with a long handle, holding the long handle in both hands, so that the net bag appeared directly under the point white, and the prey fell. The moment he entered the net, Zhong Qingran felt a tremendous lifting force and almost lifted him into the sky. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and added a large piece of copper to the end of the long handle, and then pressed the whole body on it until the prey was removed. Then he retracted the copper block, held the long handle again, and slowly lowered the net bag to the ground.
As soon as Dianbai landed, Zhong Qingran turned the copper net bag back into luck.After doing this, he wiped his forehead with the back of his hand and let out a long sigh of relief.He shouldn't be holding the net bag by himself just now, he should have inserted it into the ground from the very beginning, who told him to be so quick and thoughtless, he deserved to suffer like this. It swelled up due to overuse.
Panting heavily, Jian Mingyu stepped forward to check.Sure enough, he guessed right, Dianbai's claws were tightly connected to the prey antelope, and they were inseparable.Looking at the situation, he reckoned that after hunting the antelope in vain, he followed what he and Qingran did and tied the antelope up with a rope, and ended up carrying it around, but wrapped himself in it. Didn't realize something was wrong until exhausted, when it was too late.As for where the rope came from, he didn't know, did he bring the rope with him when he went out?
Jian Mingyu released Dianbai from the rope, and Dianbai yelled at him with grievances in his eyes.At this time, it was hard for Jian Mingyu to say anything. If he wanted to teach him a lesson, he had to wait until Bai's mood stabilized.This time it might have been frightened. If it fears the sky from now on, it will be like losing the ability to survive for the eagle.
After comforting Dianbai, Jian Mingyu picked up the rope and carefully identified it. This is a very ordinary hemp rope. Judging from the wear and tear, it should have been used for some time.Seeing that no useful information could be obtained from it, Jian Mingyu wrapped it around his hands, holding Dianbai in one hand, and walking back with the antelope in the other.
Soon, Jian Mingyu and Zhong Qingran met, seeing him frowning his eyebrows from time to time, Jian Mingyu asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
Zhong Qingran stretched out his red and swollen hands and looked at Jian Mingyu eagerly. The meaning couldn't be more obvious. He wanted Jian Mingyu's comfort and praise.
"How did you do it?" Jian Mingyu put down the white and the prey in his hands, and gently grabbed Zhong Qingran's wrist to check carefully. Seeing that no bones were injured, he was relieved, "It couldn't be because of the Internet cafe just now?"
Zhong Qingran nodded, then glared fiercely at Dianbai who didn't know that he had caused trouble. In order to save it, he sacrificed his life today.Even if he doesn't have to do physical work, but his hands are so swollen that he can't even hold a pen, that's a waste of time, isn't it?
Jian Mingyu hugged Qibai again, and said to Zhong Qingran, "Go, I'll give you medicine when you go back."
At this time, many villagers gathered at the entrance of the village with their rice bowls in their hands to look around. Seeing that Zhong Qingran and Jian Mingyu were fine, they soon left.
"Qing Ran, what's the matter with your hands?" Seeing the third grandson went out for a trip, then got into the tent when he came back, and his hands were wrapped in gauze when he came out again, Tong's heart skipped a beat.
Mr. Zhong's eyes were also full of worry.
"Grandpa, grandma, it's okay, it's just that I used too much force just now, and my hands are swollen. Mingyu has already applied medicine to me, and the swelling will go away in a few hours." Zhong Qingran hurriedly comforted the two elders, but don't rush into anything things come.
"Oh, that's good. Be careful next time." Mr. Zhong did not forget to remind him.
"Well, I'll pay attention." Zhong Qingran didn't want to suffer another avoidable crime, so he deserved his sincerity.
Seeing that Zhong Qingran was fine, Tong Shi stopped staring at him, got up and went to the stove: "Mingyu, I'll warm the food in the pot, you come over and serve it together."
Zhong Qingran is now a patient with temporarily disabled hands, and can only accept feeding from Jian Mingyu.Fortunately, he had almost eaten before, so the time of being served like this did not last long.
After feeding Zhong Qingran, Jian Mingyu got up and cut some raw meat for Dianbai, and cooked another piece in the pot.
In fact, Dianbai and Minglei prefer to eat cooked meat. In order not to let the two eagles lose the ability to survive alone, Jian Mingyu can only ignore their painful expressions when eating raw meat.
But this time it was different, Jian Mingyu fed him some raw meat, but it didn't respond much.
This bit of white is too weird, it knows that it has caused trouble, and is trying to reduce its sense of existence, so that the other master will not criticize it harshly for this point.Look, your hands are tightly wrapped in gauze, and you have to be fed even to eat. How serious is this injury?Thinking that if his two paws were made like this, it would tremble all over.
After finishing all this work, Jian Mingyu sat down at the table again, and said to Tong Shi who was busy at the side: "Grandma, please take a look at the pot, I will eat the meal first."
"Okay, don't worry, eat slowly, I will watch the fire." Mrs. Tong took a handful of thatch and sat in front of the stove, watching the fire while weaving thatch.
Zhong Qingran has nothing to do now, so he went around to his father's place, and besides gaining a lot of care, he didn't forget to take Zhong Qinghan with him before he left.
"Third Brother, where are we going?" Zhong Qinghan held a fishing rod in his left hand and a bucket in his right, and followed Zhong Qingran staggeringly.
"Go to the pier. Let's go to the entrance of the village first, and then we'll take a carriage there." Everyone was so busy that they didn't touch the ground. Zhong Qingran didn't want to hang around in the village alone. I got a job - sea fishing.
The beach cannot be used for sea fishing, that's why Zhong Qingran went to the pier, the water is deep enough, and no one has visited for a long time, maybe he can really catch seafood.
The two brothers Zhong Qingran didn't wait long, and the carriage set off towards the pier. There were still many young and strong people traveling with them. They had to move all the supplies that the village needed at present into the village, but food and the like could be slowed down.If not many people are willing to stay on board, they don't have to move in such a hurry, but they have stayed at sea for too long, and even the ground shakes when they get off the boat. They have had enough, and probably no one will return in a short time. Interested in going to sea.
After arriving at the pier, Zhong Qingran found a place far away from the boat, and asked Qinghan to bait the hook, then cast out the fishing line, and then inserted the fishing rod into the soil, while the two brothers sat on the shore and waited quietly.
"Third brother, is this really possible?" Zhong Qinghan's small face was wrinkled into a ball. He grew up so big, and he had never seen anyone in the village fishing like this.
"Should it work?" Zhong Qingran was not sure, but as long as there was a fish biting the bait, it would not be a problem to pull the fish up. He tampered with the whole fishing rod. It seemed that it was only inserted into the soil for a short distance, but it was actually not deep into the soil.
Sitting was quite boring. After all, Zhong Qinghan was a little young, and he could still sit still among his peers. It was indeed difficult for him to let him go fishing when he had something to do.Zhong Qingran drew a fish for him to copy, and the two brothers stared at the fishing rod while the other graffitied on the ground.
"Third brother, haven't you moved yet?" Zhong Qinghan had already drawn two fish, but Zhong Qingran didn't make any movement at all. Zhong Qinghan couldn't help but admire his third brother a little more. If he was to let him sit like this, he would probably get annoyed soon. up.
"It's still early, maybe there will be fish biting the hook in a while." As soon as Zhong Qingran finished speaking, the fishing rod was slightly bent, and he stepped on the fishing rod quickly, "Qing Han, you can find someone to help third brother Pull the fish."
Zhong Qinghan immediately dropped the grass stalk and ran towards the pier.
Not long after, Zhong Qingran heard footsteps behind him.He looked back and saw Zhong Qinghan brought Zhou Ming over.
"It seems to be a big guy. Be careful not to be dragged down." Zhong Qingran reminded.
Zhou Ming pulled the fishing rod out of the mud. The guy in the sea was tossed for a while, and his strength was reduced. For Zhou Ming, the burden was not so big. Finally, Zhou Ming flicked the fishing rod vigorously, and a figure was thrown ashore.
"Third Brother, what is this?" Zhong Qinghan ran up to take a look, but was so startled that he trembled when he spoke.
