However, the little yellow skins are as good as the skin, but each one is more stupid and stupid than the other. They are not as clever and cunning as the other yellow skins. They are almost two months old and can't even catch birds and mice.

Don't expect them to steal chickens.

Several times when Wang Susu was feeding the chickens and ducks, they also went to eat and drink in the stone trough on the side of the chicken house. As a result, the chickens and ducks chased them all over the yard. The guy showed off his power with more than ten chickens and ducks, and even

Xiao Huang and Xiao Pang didn't dare to go up and resist, so they pecked a few pieces of bald hair out of these three little things. It didn't take long for them to remember, and they bullied the little rabbits or teased the chickens and ducks every day, and sometimes even jumped to the

The two dogs were playing on their backs, which made Heiwa Xiaojin very tired of them. A few days ago, Xiaojin was so anxious that he blocked them in the yard and refused to let them down. Even Xiaohuang and Xiaopang couldn't complain to Chen Ling. As long as Xiaojin came down, he would

Bite, now you are more honest.

Chen Ling pinched the three chubby little fools and saw that they were so comfortable on his lap that he closed his eyes and dozed off. He was speechless for a moment: "They are as silly as Hei Wa. They only have fat but not much ability."

.”

Speaking of which, huangpizi in the mountains are quite capable. They can basically catch mice and birds, and swim and climb trees. Some people think that huangpizi can't swim, but that's not true. In homes close to the river, huangpizi often swims along the water.

Chickens and ducks are causing trouble at home. When I get up, I see wet paw prints all over the chicken coop, which is hard to guard against.

"Oh, it's useless, it's useless..."

Chen Ling shook his head and sighed, grabbed the little fools by the scruff of their necks and threw them to the ground. Regardless of their confused and aggrieved looks, he walked to the backyard to feed the silkworms, and then put the silkworms in the plaque.

After cleaning the sand, the silkworms have shed their skins three times now and will start to form cocoons again. At this time, they need to be fed every two or three hours, and the same goes at night.

But Chen Ling found it troublesome, so he planted two mulberry trees in the cave. After going out for a walk every day, he bundled the branches and leaves and carried several bundles back. This way, Wang Susu didn't have to pick mulberry leaves.

The mulberry leaves produced in Dongtian are extremely nutritious. At first, Wang Susu stayed up several times at night to feed the silkworms. However, she saw that they could not finish the mulberry leaves they put on before going to bed, and there were no signs of poor growth, so she simply stopped caring about them.

Already.

After cleaning the silkworm excrement, pile it on the wall and let it ferment. Then pour the fermented silkworm excrement from the previous two days into a bucket, mix it with bran, and mix it to make simple fish food. Return to the front yard and go to the lotus pond.

As soon as it fell, there was a sudden commotion in the pond. All the fish came up to the surface and opened their mouths to fight for it. Now because Chen Ling poured half a bucket of stream water into the pond every two days, these ordinary ornamental fish

He has also become more ferocious and ferocious, and he has become better fed. He eats everything and is not picky at all. Not to mention silkworm pellets, even steamed bun crumbs can crush his head if he falls into it. He swims to the surface of the water and robs all kinds of things at home.

, that is really completely wasteless.

"Fortunately, it looks much prettier than when it was first put in. Otherwise, if it was just getting more temperamental and off-roading, it would be better to put a few grass carp in."

Chen Ling put down the bucket, squatted beside it and admired it for a while, then went to cook the rice. After Wang Susu came back from herding the cattle, the two of them had eaten, washed the pots and bowls, and began to sit together and tie the wheat straw into racks.

, must be prepared before silkworms spin cocoons, which is the 'hill' that silkworms have to climb up the mountain.

After a while, Liu Nier called him outside the house with a group of little boys to tell him to go out and catch scorpions.

"Why do you bring so many bottles? Where are you going to catch them tonight?"

Chen Ling walked out and saw little children holding kerosene lamps or torches, with a bunch of cans and wine bottles hanging around their necks standing at the gate of the courtyard. This guy was obviously going to do something big.

"Hey, let's walk around the village first. If it doesn't work, go out and look for us. But Nanda said we won't be allowed to go up the mountain, even if you have Uncle Fugui with you. He said there are wolves on the mountain at night."

Liu Nier sniffed, then took two cans and bottles and handed them to Chen Ling: "Here, I brought these for you. I'm afraid you won't be able to tighten the lids tightly with the bottles and the scorpions will crawl out."

"Haha, okay, I didn't hurt you in vain."

Chen Ling took it and tied it around his waist. Then he went home and took a clip made of bamboo grates from the side of the stove, then followed the children out the door with a flashlight.

After walking for a while, Chen Ling suddenly realized something was wrong. Chen Ling frowned and looked at Liu Nier: "Is your baby missing a tooth?"

"Hey, hey, uncle Fugui, the prawns you made were so fragrant. I just ate them at home with steamed buns. I didn't feel anything wrong after eating. When I got up early, I saw that two of my teeth were knocked out."

"My mother also said that if she threw it on the roof, her teeth wouldn't grow properly, but she didn't find any."

Liu Nier smiled widely, but her two lower front teeth were gone.

"Uncle Fugui, I also changed my teeth. It's the big stupid tooth inside."

"Mine is a small tooth. It is about to fall out and there is only a little bit of flesh left. My grandma said that I should use a thread to pull it back, but I was afraid of pain and didn't let her pull it."

The other two little kids also refused to lag behind and ran up to him with their mouths open to let him see.

As a result, the torch in his hand almost burned Chen Ling's hair.

The parents of the little children allowed them to go out to look for scorpions, but they were reluctant to use flashlights, so they lit torches. Most of the torches in the mountains are made of hemp poles, which are the kind of hemp poles that scare wolves from both ends. In Ramie

After soaking and peeling off the outer skin, the pole in the middle is left. After a little drying, it becomes light and white. It is convenient and trouble-free to use it as a torch, and it burns smoothly.

In these days, ramie was widely used in making hemp rope and linen cloth, but it gradually became rare in the early 21st century.

Hemp poles are generally about 1.5 meters long. A dozen or so poles can be tied into a small torch. They are safer than reed poles and can be used by small children.

"Okay, okay, uncle saw it. Changing teeth is a good thing. Once the teeth are replaced, you will grow up."

Chen Ling said with a smile.

Little babies love it most when adults say they have grown up. When they hear this, they all jump up and down with joy.

It's a good night today. In the sky, the semicircle moon exudes a faint halo, illuminating the entire earth in a silvery gray color. There are frogs in the ponds in the village and the reservoir outside the village, and various insects are also in the grass.

Shouting loudly, on this early summer night, accompanied by the cool mountain breeze, everything seemed to be full of life.

However, the corn has not been planted yet. After being tired from the day's work, there are not many people out to catch scorpions at night. There are only a few here and there, holding torches and bending down, lifting up the stones under their feet one by one. If you are unlucky, you don't know how many stones will be lifted up.

I can't catch a single scorpion either. If I'm lucky, I can get half a bottle under one stone.

Seeing these people catching scorpions, Liu Nier had no intention of running over to fight with them. She led Chen Ling into the old house in the village with a smile.

The old houses in the mountains were not all built of adobe, but also of stone, with yellow mud on the outside. However, over time, the stones inside will be exposed due to wind and rain, and some people are more particular about it.

, they use stones to build stone walls to surround the yard, and some use stones to make pig pens, donkey pens, etc. Scorpions like to stay in the cracks of these stones.

Because it is dark and humid inside and there are many small insects, it has become a paradise for scorpions to feed.

The key to catching scorpions in a place like this is to be fast, otherwise the scorpions will easily slip back into the cracks in the wall or escape among the weeds, making it difficult to find them.

Scorpions are actually very smart. Some scorpions use their appearance to be similar to the color of loess. If you shine a flashlight on it, it will pretend to be dead motionless to confuse people. Some scorpions just shine a flashlight on it.

When it knows the danger, it will retreat into the crevices of the rocks and hide. When there is no light and no movement outside, it will crawl out. When you shine the flashlight again, it will hide again. This is fighting you as a guerrilla, no.

It takes a lot of effort to catch it.

However, although there are many scorpions in the old houses in the village, because they are inaccessible, they are overgrown with weeds, and there are also various terrible poisonous insects or other unknown creatures hiding in them. Some of the roofs are half collapsed and crumbling, which is very scary.

No, when they broke into an old house with torches, the sudden fire made the originally peaceful environment become noisy. Bats and various birds all fluttered their wings and flew out of the old house. There were also hedgehogs in the grass.

Something was still running around, filling the air with choking smoke.

Even so, there are indeed more scorpions around the old house. Perhaps there are more small insects and flying insects here. In addition to the ones that were frightened away by the light of the fire, there are actually many motionless scorpions at the base of the wall. They are basically four or five.

They are medium-sized and slightly yellow in color. There is one within a few steps. If you lie there and don't look carefully, you will be fooled by them.

After the little kids saw it, each one looked like they were seeing gold, their eyes were shining, they walked over lightly, caught the scorpion by its tail and quickly put it into the bottle, quickly and accurately, and in a short time every child caught it.

Got four or five scorpions.

Immediately after, Chen Ling took them to several uninhabited old houses, and almost everyone caught almost half of the bottle.

"An old female scorpion!"

After walking around half of the village, when they reached a horse-blocking wall at the edge of the village, Komori's eyes suddenly lit up, he screamed in surprise, and rushed over.

Then, with quick eyes and quick hands, I clamped its tail with a clamp, and let it turn around and use its thin legs to hold the clamp and struggle with all its strength. Then I put it directly into the bottle and quickly tightened the bottle cap. This baby is not as good as Liu Nier

They caught a lot, but they only caught a full bottle.

Speaking of which, female scorpions are easy to deal with. If it is a light yellow male scorpion with its tail raised high and full of vigilance, you must be careful: when people use a clip to clamp its tail, it often

It will dodge quickly, change direction and quickly escape into the grass or cracks in the rocks on all sides, making it difficult for people to guard against it.

In this way, you need to concentrate to avoid wasting your efforts. Even after the male scorpion is firmly clamped, it still refuses to surrender and will struggle desperately. In addition to grabbing with all four legs like the female scorpion, the male scorpion

The terrifying and thick tail will shake violently, and the clamp will snap. If any scorpion catcher is stung by it in this situation, it will be unlucky...

The sting of a scorpion is unpleasant. Not only is it painful, but it also causes swelling, which is very torturous.

While walking around the village, I was looking for scorpions to catch. In fact, there were not many scorpions this year. Seven or eight children plus Chen Ling, an adult, searched for almost an hour in the east of the village, but they only caught 400.

There are more than one, because some scorpions are too small and cannot be judged by their size alone, so if these scorpions can be sold for twenty yuan in total, it is not bad, and the harvest is not really huge.

After a while, they moved to the vicinity of the wheat field. The houses nearby were not as orderly as in the village. The adobe houses were crowded together. The courtyards of the houses were very low, overgrown with trees and weeds, and it was eerie at night.

They are all old houses that have aged well.

The earthen wall is very old. It is rugged due to years of wind and rain erosion, and it is also covered with black and green moss.

As expected, there were many scorpions entrenched on the edge of the crack in the wall. All of them were majestic and plump, with long tails with poisonous stings at the top. They were bent over their heads like arches, maintaining instinctive vigilance. Their bodies were dark in color, proving that they were old.

It also proves that their venom is rich and thick.

After going here, the harvest was pretty good, especially Liu Nier, who caught seven or eight big male scorpions in a row, and the other little ones also caught more than half of the second bottle.

After catching this, continue walking outside the village.

After walking a few steps, there were continuous barkings of dogs near the wheat field. In several shacks around, someone poked his head out and took a look. He saw clearly that it was Chen Ling who was bringing a few dolls, and then quickly shrank back.

Go back and continue to sleep.

These people are looking after the food to prevent anyone from stealing it at night.

Chen Ling glanced around and saw that there were many shacks around, but he didn't recognize anyone. They were all from the first and second brigades in the west of the village.

"Uncle Fugui, there are scorpions on the wall over there, and there are several under the eaves. They just shrank into the cracks in the wall. I can see them clearly."
