Chen Ling looked at the few brats and winked at him, and kept shushing at him.

I just thought they were doing something weird again. After all, these children were very young. The eldest was Xiaosen from the Yuqiang family, who was only four or five years old. Some of them were still wearing crotchless pants.

What secret could they have?

He didn't take it seriously at all, and said with a smile: "Secret? What secret? It's not that you little monkeys caused trouble to other people's cornfields and ate the sweet corn stalks secretly, right?"

"We don't have it. Uncle and grandpa, you will know when you come over and take a look, but you can't tell others."

Xiao Sen still looked sneaky. After looking around and finding that no one was around, he waved to Chen Ling, and then the few of them quietly got into the corn field.

Now that the corn stalks were almost grown, Chen Ling looked inside twice, but couldn't see clearly what was inside, so he had to follow it.

When we walked into the depths of Baomi Field, we found that this place was not far from the Earth Temple. There were more wild trees and shrubs. Between the sparse bushes were several short tombs. This was the village of Chen Wang. Except for the Chen and Wang families,

, the cemeteries of several people with other surnames.

At the signal of several little children, Chen Ling walked into the cemetery and watched them quietly as they moved away a pile of broken bricks and tiles, lifted up a worn-out straw mat, and revealed a pit more than one meter deep.

, and then pointed to the things in the pit to show him.

At this moment, Chen Ling finally understood what the secret they were talking about was, and immediately felt a little dazed.

"How did you catch these things?"

"You're not afraid of catching the younger ones and provoking the older ones. Who will save you then?"

What was in the pit was none other than wild boar cubs. There were seven or eight of them, not much bigger than small native dogs. They had dark brown stripes extending from their necks to their buttocks. When they saw people, they crowded into one.

Tuan, moaning and groaning.

"Hey, don't be afraid, uncle, this is far away. If you lock Piggy here, the old wild boar will definitely not find it."

Komori smiled, feeling quite proud.

"Why are you so far away? Where did you catch them?"

Chen Ling asked.

Xiao Sen looked at Stinky Egg, then at the other little dolls, and said softly: "Uncle, this is a secret. We have told you. Don't tell Uncle Lixian. This is our secret."

Caught from the trap he set at the foot of the mountain in two days..."

"Good guys, you are so courageous. You dare to pick prey from your uncle Lixian's trap. Aren't you afraid that Liu Nier will beat you up if he finds out?"

When Chen Ling heard this, he couldn't hold back his joy immediately.

"Why are you afraid? This is what Liu Nier brought us here to carry."

Komori pursed his lips, pointed at the tunnel and said, "Is this the secret tunnel he dug with us?"

"What? A secret tunnel?"

Chen Ling frowned and couldn't react for a moment.

"Yes, we have dug two tunnels in this pit. It is quite long and can hide several people. Liu Nier often brings us here to play and has never been discovered. Lock Piggy here.

I can't even get up my head, and I can't run away at all."

Following the direction that Komori pointed, Chen Ling took a look and was immediately surprised.

He discovered that there were really two openings at the bottom of the pit. These two openings were actually quite large, but they were covered with branches and reeds. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't notice them.

However, after being surprised, he felt a little dumbfounded. He stretched out his hand and patted the backs of some little melons: "You guys are really good at carrying the piglets that your Uncle Lixian got into the pit. It's still in someone's graveyard."

What if we dig a tunnel and dig someone's grave?"

Each of these is designated as having seen too many tunnel battles.

"Don't worry, uncle, there are few graves here, so you won't be able to dig them up."

While talking to Chen Ling, Xiao Sen led a group of little devils to carry bricks and stones and covered the pit with dirt.

After finishing the dumpling, everyone clapped their little hands, wiped their noses and laughed silly at Chen Ling.

"Uncle Fugui, let's go."

"Huh? Are you leaving now? Are you going to leave Piggy here?"

"Don't worry, I came here to feed them before lunch. There are food bowls and they are placed in the tunnel. We are just here to take a look at them...Uncle Fugui, you must not

Tell others."

"That's right, my uncle wants to keep it a secret for us."

The little dolls all had sullen faces and said extremely seriously.

"Okay, okay, I'll keep it a secret for you. I'll just pretend I didn't see those wild boar cubs today. Okay?"

Chen Ling suppressed a smile and replied.

"Hehehe, that's not true. We are willing to let my uncle and grandpa know about it alone. If other people know about it, they will definitely tell my parents."

A group of little devils surrounded Chen Ling, smiling happily.

They have always been close to Chen Ling, and if there is anything they don't want to tell their parents, they will tell him.

Chen Ling naturally knew this, so he asked them: "Did your little aunt go with you to capture your Uncle Lixian's wild boar cub?"

"No."

The little kids shook their heads one after another: "I had lunch that day, and my little aunt didn't come out to play. She was wrapping book covers at home."

"oh……"

Now Chen Ling knew the day they caught the little wild boar.

No wonder, when he went to cut reeds that day, he saw Liu Nier leading her head around the village to collect things.

It turned out that we had caught a wild boar cub.

This monkey is really cheating.

Even the things in Wang Lixian's trap dared to take people out to catch them, and even hid them secretly.

I don’t know what’s going on in this kid’s head.

"You caught a little wild boar, why didn't you let your family help sell it for money?"

Chen Ling asked again.

"Can't sell it! Liu Nier said that these piglets are too small and cannot be sold for money. He plans to learn from Uncle Fugui in the future, like your rabbits, raise them and let them give birth to piglets, and wait for the piglets.

When you grow up and regenerate, you can sell it for a lot of money..."

Komori kept shaking his head as he spoke, and other little kids also agreed.

"Yes, Uncle Fugui, if you bring it home, my mother will definitely sell it for food."

"Liu Nier thinks so too, and Uncle Lixian will definitely not let him raise her."

Listening to their innocent words, Chen Ling almost laughed out loud.

Judging from their longing looks, these children must have fantasized about raising hundreds of wild boars in two years.

…

But when it comes to taking wild boar cubs home, it is true that the family will not allow them to be raised.

Wild boars are particularly fertile and have strong skin, making them very easy to survive, but villagers generally do not raise them.

Because they are wild and difficult to tame, and when they are in heat, they are more noisy than bull sheep. Big rams always jump around in the circle when they are in heat. Wild boars are more harmful when in heat and can easily hurt people.

Even if it is chopped, it will be of no use.

Wild boars eat a lot, but they grow fat slowly. Calculating this, it is very uneconomical.

It is far less troublesome to raise than ordinary pigs, and it can be sold for more money.

However, it is definitely not possible for these little babies to raise wild boar cubs in that cemetery.

It doesn’t mean whether they are raised well or whether they can persist.

But this matter must not be hidden from adults.

Fortunately for Liu Ni'er, this kid is very honest and has a lot of heart. He won't even blush when he tells lies in front of adults.

Maybe you can fool him for a while.

But Liu Nier and the older ones now go to school in the county town all day long, leaving only Komori and they are too young.

The little kid has no idea in his mind. If there is something interesting, he can't help but look at it. It's weird to be able to hide it.

After walking out of the cornfield, Chen Ling told them not to come here after dark, and let them run into the village, mount the cows and go home.

…

On August 19, Chen Ling came back from seeing off Wang Zhenzhen. Wang Susu had washed the millstone with boiling water and dried it at home. The next step was to prepare for grinding the flour.

This grinding process does not involve directly preparing the wheat and then grinding it. Especially when grinding flour with a stone mill, the wheat must not only be cleaned, but also washed and moistened before grinding.

After the flour is ground, it has to pass through a sieve. Since the stone mill is pulled by animals or pushed by people, the speed is relatively slow and the water cannot be completely drained. Finally, it has to be dried.

Or maybe Wang Laishun thought he was too busy and was just messing around. Such complicated steps were not only laborious and inefficient, but also too troublesome to go back and forth. For people who are used to the convenience of machines, it seems that it is not a fool's errand.
