Chapter 257 Monthly income of one million(1/2)
The sun is rising higher and higher, the sunset has just passed, and the Mid-Autumn mood has not yet appeared in the mountains and forests. Cicadas and various insects are still singing at the top of their lungs, trying hard to make the sounds of their last stage of life, and the sweet birdsong and gurgling.
The sounds of water intertwined together, creating a lively and lively atmosphere everywhere in the mountain forest.
The only bad thing is that the mountain road is difficult to travel, and there are many poisonous insects. Although Chen Ling applied insect repellent mountain pepper juice, he was still unable to guard against mountain leeches and the like, so he had to speed up the forest.
With Er Baldy leading the way and Xiao Jin, the little overlord of the forest, the Ganoderma lucidum nest was found successfully despite the distance.
"My dear, what a great harvest. There are actually twelve Ganoderma lucidum trees growing in this nest."
Chen Ling stood in front of a huge rotten tree trunk and couldn't help but marvel.
I saw large and small red Ganoderma lucidum growing at the roots of dead trees behind the lush grass.
The big one can be as big as a fist.
The small one is only the size of the thumb.
It proved that they were not all mature, and there was still a big gap between the large Ganoderma lucidum that Erbaldy picked in Chen Ling's hand.
"How did you discover this place?"
Chen Ling asked the bald man, and he immediately flapped his wings and flew to a nearby tree to show him.
"Oh...it's a mouse."
It turned out that there were a few mice hanging on the branches next to it. I didn’t know whether it was the owl or the shrike that attracted the two bald men.
After a quick glance, he didn't see any tree holes or bird's nests in the trees. Maybe they were relatively hidden, so he didn't look for them carefully.
"Okay, that's not bad. I'll identify more medicinal materials for you when I get back. Then I'll let you come to the mountains to collect medicines if nothing happens."
Chen Ling raised his head and smiled at it, then put down the bamboo basket, walked to the big tree with red Ganoderma lucidum, and took some spiritual water to ripen them all.
Otherwise, the small Ganoderma lucidum that has not grown to maturity cannot be harvested, and it would have to be done again some time later, which would be too troublesome.
It is better to ripen it now and take it out, leaving the nest to continue growing next year. That is enough.
Sprinkling the spiritual water down, Chen Ling saw the Ganoderma lucidum growing from half red and half white to a bright, reflective crimson color, and each one was as big as a small fan. Chen Ling said no in his heart.
Out of satisfaction.
Wild Ganoderma lucidum has become increasingly rare in recent years.
The reason is that many people are unruly and too greedy. After discovering a Ganoderma nest, they are worried about being picked by others, so they often cut off the Ganoderma lucidum and the stump with a saw and take it home as their own.
Over time, wild red Ganoderma lucidum and purple Ganoderma lucidum have become difficult to find locally.
So, he was really lucky in going into the mountains this time.
"This nest is well protected and must be kept."
Chen Ling took down all the mature Ganoderma lucidum and looked around. It was already on the mountainside, on the edge of the broad-leaved forest. A little further up there were pines and cypresses.
There are still relatively few people here, so I feel relieved for the time being.
Afterwards, he left two Ganoderma lucidum plants in a bamboo basket and took the rest back to Dongtian.
Wild Ganoderma lucidum is very uneven in size, some are big and some are small. The ones that have been ripened look too symmetrical. If they are all taken out, it would be too unreasonable.
"Let's go. The harvest is good. It's time for us to go home and eat."
Chen Ling glanced at the bamboo basket that was already filled with herbs, and with satisfaction called to the dog and eagle, followed the long way back.
"Chirp..." A few gray-brown shadows danced among the branches and leaves. They were squirrels that were quite active in the forest.
When he saw someone breaking in, he ran away in panic, jumped on the branches several times, and hid deep in the forest.
Chen Ling took out his slingshot and shot it randomly a few times, but he didn't hit it, but he didn't care and just played while walking.
In the mountains, besides pheasants and rabbits, squirrels are the most common.
Like wild boars, these things are also a scourge, often coming down the mountain to destroy crops. However, their harm is relatively small and is within the tolerance of the villagers.
Moreover, the meat of this thing tastes pretty good. If you know how to clean it, it can also be used as a delicacy.
"Woof woof, woof woof woof..."
Xiao Jin's hair suddenly stood up all over his body, he growled lowly, and his tail stood up straight to indicate that something was approaching.
Upon seeing this, Chen Ling immediately put down his slingshot, took out the shotgun from the cave, and put his whole body on guard.
Sure enough, only two minutes passed before a group of wild boars appeared at the bottom of the ditch ahead. If you don't count the small wild boars following behind, just talking about the large wild boars, there were as many as a dozen in number.
It was even larger than the wild boar group we saw last time.
Good guy, when did wild boars become so common in the mountains?
Chen Ling frowned slightly in surprise.
The wild boar's hearing and vision are extremely sharp. By this time, he had already been spotted, but he was still wandering around at the bottom of the ditch in a big way, looking for food on the ground as he walked.
Obviously he didn't take him seriously.
"Oh, he's quite crazy."
When Chen Ling saw this situation, he immediately laughed, put down the bamboo basket, and whistled at a dog and an eagle, "Xiao Jin and two bald guys, come together, they actually look down on us, let them have a taste of our power."
After that, he took the lead and rushed towards the wild boars with a shotgun and shouting loudly.
This time when no one followed him into the mountains, he completely let go. It was rare that he could free his nature and indulge himself.
And now that he has more and more control over the Sun Moon Cave, he has no fear of encountering even the most ferocious beast.
"Go to—ga—"
Chen Ling waved his arms and roared loudly at the wild boars.
Wild boars are the easiest to drive away when they are in groups. On the contrary, lone wild boars cannot be frightened and stimulated and will fight with people desperately.
So Chen Ling didn't even fire the shotgun, he just ran over and shouted loudly, and the wild boars screamed "Feng'er, Feng'er..." and got into a panic, scurrying around with their heads down.
Like headless flies, they don't care who they are and they run away in any direction.
Almost as soon as the boar ran away, the sows lost their backbone and immediately fled in all directions, not even caring about the wild boar cubs.
So at this time, the little wild piglets were the most panicked and didn't know which sow to follow. The large group divided into several groups, grunting and struggling to escape.
But they are too small, and some slide down the slope while running, and some fall into the water.
Chen Ling didn't care about these little guys. He just led the dogs and hawks, chased the wild boars, roared wildly, and then shot them in the back with "bang bang bang".
He wasn't looking for prey, just for fun. It was rare for him to let go of the Wuthering Mountains and feel free and unrestrained.
Xiaojin and Erbaluzi also let go. The barking of dogs and the cry of eagles kept ringing in the forest, and they launched an offensive against the wild boars.
Xiao Jin barked excitedly, passing through the grass and woods like a whirlwind. When it encountered a steep slope, it jumped over in a swish. The speed of the wild boar could not be compared with it.
What's interesting is that it uses its tail and hind legs to maintain balance throughout the whole process. When it jumps, its tail is like a helicopter propeller, spinning fast in circles and disappearing in a swish, chasing the wild boar group to death.
.
As for the Erbaldy, his performance was restricted by the forest, but he was not discouraged. He followed Chen Ling calmly and took advantage of opportunities to make sneak attacks. When a wild boar was injured by Chen Ling and panicked, it was the time for him to take action.
The sharp claws greeted the wild boar's eyes, and it flew past like a glider. Before the shadow could be seen, the wild boar was already blind, howling and bumping into the forest.
"Bang-bang-"
Chen Ling raised his gun to finish off the wounds. A blind wild boar is a toothless tiger. He specifically aimed at the vital parts of the wild boar, and two or three shots could kill them.
"Hahaha, it's so enjoyable."
After killing three wild boars in succession, Chen Ling suddenly felt refreshed. He walked over and took the three old sows in a pool of blood into the cave. Then he saw that the wild boars had all run away, so he called Xiao Jin and Er Baldy back.
.
"Er Baldy is doing well. I'll take you into the mountains in the winter and have a lot of fun."
After rewarding the dog and the eagle, he looked at the little wild boar cubs that Xiao Jin had caught along the way. There were four or five of them, and he nodded with satisfaction.
The proliferation of any wild animal is not a good thing.
This is especially true for wild boar.
This thing is so destructive that an adult wild boar goes down the mountain at night, and half an acre of land is not enough to destroy the grain. If it is in a group, it will be a disaster for farmers.
Most of the year's harvest was ruined.
And if you encounter it alone, it is also very dangerous. Especially when you encounter a lone pig or a female wild boar with cubs, it is common for you to lose your life.
"From now on, when I have nothing to do at home, I will go to the mountains more often to prevent wild boars from completely overrun and causing trouble everywhere under the mountains. I will go to the mountains more often, and I can also have a tooth ceremony by the way."
Chen Ling made a plan in his mind, took out a sack from the bottom of the bamboo basket, and put all the squealing little wild boar cubs in it.
This thing's reproductive power is so strong that it can mate and produce babies all year round. There are at least eight or nine babies in a litter, and up to twenty babies. It's quite scary when that guy gives birth to cubs.
"I'll eat some roast suckling pig when I get back. The fire pit I built outside the kitchen has never been used."
There were so many wild boars in the mountains that Chen Ling was too lazy to raise them on the farm and just ate them.
He had never eaten such a small and tender wild boar cub.
On the way back, he picked some more sorrels and fungus. Recently, he took aim at his own roosters and kept them in the mountains and forests all day long. The meat was really fragrant.
There is no need for any fancy cooking methods, just the local traditional stewed chicken and stir-fried chicken are used, and the taste is unforgettable. My father-in-law felt sorry for these chickens at first, but after eating them once, although he still felt sad, he still felt sad after a while.
