Chapter 406 Pigeons and Cows(2/2)
Chen Ling's original intention was to build another bird box, but then he turned around and thought, a kite is also a bird box. If the little pigeon foolishly admits that it is wrong and has entered the wrong nest, it will be finished by the kite.
No more bird boxes.
I went to the woodshed and warehouse to search, and found a larger clay pot.
Lay it horizontally, bundle it up with straw rope, and then hang it down the corridor.
It is both simple and beautiful, and very practical. It also saves him the time of nailing the bird box.
Moreover, the mouth of the clay pot is very small and the belly is very big, making it a perfect pigeon nest.
Chen Ling took a closer look and was quite satisfied: "Not bad, not bad. I'll catch a few wild pigeons for training later, and I can use this as a nest."
Just stuff some hay into the clay pot to make it fluffy and soft.
Then he took the two little pigeons out of the bamboo cage and put them in...
Because they haven't learned to fly yet, Chen Ling didn't hang the pot so high now, but placed it on two rocks next to the corridor.
Take out a handful of peanuts and peel them while letting them get familiar with themselves and this new home. At the same time, train them to go in and out so that they know how to return to the nest.
There are such good peanuts to eat.
It only took half a day for the two little pigeons to be trained by Chen Ling to be able to go up and down and return to their nests, and they were no longer afraid of him.
Suddenly, Erhei barked loudly.
A man walked into the farm, frightened the two little pigeons so much that they flapped their wings, jumped up on the rocks and got back into the earthen jar.
"Uncle Fugui, you are feeding the pigeons."
"Hey, it's Xiaochao. Are you healed?"
Chen Ling looked up and saw that it was Wang Wenchao, the youngest son of the Ermao Donkey family.
I followed Li Hongqi and others into the mountains to serve as a guide. I was injured and couldn't go out for more than half a month.
"After I recovered, I thought I had broken my leg at first. Later, I asked Uncle Guoping to take a look and found that no muscles or bones were injured. It was nothing serious. I didn't even use crutches. Even after more than half a month of nursing, I still felt a little bit weak.
I'm so nimble, I don't have the energy to work as before, hehe."
Wang Wenchao chuckled, it was like this in the village, men, women, old and young, even if they were injured or sick, they couldn't just lie in bed and do nothing, unless they were seriously ill.
But as a young man in his twenties, he was very strong and could easily handle any injury.
He didn't care, he just took out the things wrapped in blue cloth from his arms: "Uncle Fugui, I brought you a gun."
"Well, have those outsiders paid you for being a guide?"
Chen Ling took the gun and leaned casually on the small stone pier next to it.
Erhei couldn't see anything alive, so when he saw this, he grabbed the gun and ran upstairs to the hunting gear room and placed the gun in front of the hunting gear room door.
Wang Wenchao glanced at Chen Ling with envy, nodded to Chen Ling with a smile, "Forget it, I've already given it to you. How can a bunch of outsiders not give you money? Unless they don't want to leave."
"The man surnamed Li is still injured. They live in Erzhu's old courtyard, and Baoshuan and Baoliang take care of their meals."
"Oh, that's not bad. Baoshuan and Baoliang have seen a lot of money this year."
"Yes, Baoshuan has made changes, and it's time for him to see the money. Baoshuan did a good job, and he even told a few of us that those people hid a compass under the bed."
Chen Baoshuan also told Chen Ling about this matter, saying that he had also informed the people in the village and wanted to keep an eye on what they were doing with the compass.
Although Chen Ling had some speculations about this matter, he didn't pay much attention to it. His dog was running around in and outside the village all day long. It was better than people at this kind of thing, so there was no need to keep an eye on it.
Unless they go into the mountains again...
The two sat together and chatted for a while. They saw that the sun was getting hotter and it was almost noon.
Wang Wenchao said: "Uncle Fugui, are you busy with something this afternoon? Ida said that if you are not busy, I would like to ask you to do a little favor. If you are busy with something, forget it."
This is not a polite statement. Recently, everyone in the village knows that Chen Ling's apricots are ripe. If they are busy picking apricots or looking for a place to sell, they will definitely not have time to help.
"You can tell me if you have anything to do. I don't have anything to do in the afternoon, so I just pick two baskets of apricots. Just pick whatever you want without delaying anything."
"That's good. An Da said that he wants to put a nose ring on the cattle at home. The cow is so disobedient that there is no way to train him without wearing a nose ring."
Wang Wenchao sighed helplessly, "Ada called Brother Yuqiang and Brother Yingqiang to come. Plus Anda and I might not be able to hold down that bull. Anda knew I was here to bring you a gun, so he said you want
If you are not busy, let me ask you to help me, Uncle Fugui, you are very strong, if you go there, you will definitely be able to hold down the cow."
In fact, usually two or three young and strong men can hold down a half-sized ox.
But wearing a cow nose ring is different. The cow is in too much pain during the wearing process and will struggle violently. If it is not worn properly, the cow will be injured, and many people have to be called in to hold the cow down firmly.
"Putting a nose ring on the cow? It's been almost a week. I thought you took the cow back that night and put a nose ring on the cow the next day."
Chen Ling didn't expect this.
"No, Anda said that the cows ran out at night, and half the village came out to chase them away. There were also dogs barking at people, which frightened him a lot. The next day, he still didn't feel at ease, and he was afraid that he would have his nose pierced so soon.
Huan scared it again. If there is any disturbance in the future, it will easily scare the cow..."
"I just want to let the cow relax first. After a few days, it will feel more at ease, and then give it a nose ring. This will be safer."
Wang Wenchao explained.
"That's right."
Chen Ling nodded and expressed understanding: "Okay, I'll go there early in the afternoon and let's put the nose ring on it."
If you want to train a cow well, it is essential to pierce its nose.
In fact, if the cattle are not used for plowing, it doesn't matter whether they wear nose rings or not. But who made Ermao Donkey's little scalper disobedient and dared to break free from the reins and open the door and run out on his own?
This guy got lost in the middle of the night and where can he find it? Now he's selling a calf for six to seven hundred yuan.
Not everyone can be blind to money.
If you go to someone else's house, they close the door, kill the cow secretly, and sell it, there's really nothing you can do about it.
Now that the weather is getting hotter, it is actually not the best season to wear a nose ring. Winter is generally the best time to wear a nose ring, which can reduce infection.
Of course, if the cow reaches one year old and is not in winter, it must wear what is needed.
It is best to put this thing on before the cow is one year old. Otherwise, as the cow grows up, has a strong temper and is strong, it will not be easy to hold it down, and it will easily hurt people if it is hard on.
But when it comes to scalpers like Ermao Donkey's, it's useless to say anything. They are so stubborn and disobedient when they are less than one year old. It is impossible to raise them without a nose ring.
