Chapter 93 Guests(1/2)
(PS: Chapter 92 is before the release remarks, you can see it by refreshing it)
I saw small black dots appearing one after another on the cracked cracks of the turtle eggs. After a while, the black dots became larger and larger, turning into pointed black mouths, and then small heads stuck out.
The little turtle cubs that have just broken out of their shells have not come out yet, like clown fish.
Chen Ling watched them quietly until they all hatched.
The turtle cubs that hatch out of their shells are only about the size of a copper coin. Their backs are blue-black, lighter in color, and have some patterns. After hatching, they crawl towards the same direction - the pond where the old turtle is.
Now in this pond, the female turtle has grown to the size of a millstone, and the seven male turtles are also as big as a well cover.
In fact, after being put into the cave, Chen Ling didn't feed them much food. When they were hungry, they climbed out and went to the fish pond to catch food.
The environment of the cave is suitable, and it also has other unknown effects.
The fish are basically fry that only take about half a month. They grow very fast, and the pond is covered with lotus flowers. Even the old turtles can’t eat them all. This makes the fish in the fish pond more wild and ferocious, and fish and turtles often perform tricks.
Great war.
However, no matter how ferocious these fish are, they cannot fight against the old turtle and will eventually end up in the belly of the old turtle.
Seeing the turtle cubs lining up to enter the pond one by one and swimming happily around the old turtle in the water, Chen Ling got up, picked up the bucket, fetched water from the stream several times, and poured it into the pond.
At this time, both the old turtle and the young turtle became extremely excited.
After hearing a "crash" sound, the female turtle surfaced directly from the water and looked at Chen Ling with wide eyes, revealing a trace of anthropomorphic emotions in her eyes.
It seems to be expressing gratitude.
When Chen Ling saw this scene, he knew that this female turtle had become wise.
So he hooked his hand and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, come ashore and let me have a look."
The female turtle really understood and slowly climbed onto the shore.
When it crawled up to him, Chen Ling found that the patterns on its body were more complex and the colors were getting darker. Its black turtle shell was as thick as a millstone.
Chen Ling reached out and touched its head: "I'll call you Guantou from now on."
As long as the family has smart animals, Chen Ling will not just treat them as wild animals, but will give them names and treat them as his friends.
Hearing Chen Ling's words, the old turtle stretched his head and bumped his hand. His eyes showed excitement, as if he was excited about getting a name.
"Don't move Garlic, let me see if you can carry me."
Chen Ling pressed down its big, thick head to stop it from moving, while he carefully stepped on its back.
The tortoise shell, which was as big as a millstone, was hard and thick, and Chen Ling was very stable when he stood on it. Suan Tou seemed to understand his intention at this moment, and he stood up slowly, carrying Chen Ling on his back and slowly walked around the hut twice.
"This guy, I think I got a new mount now!"
After Chen Ling was satisfied, he got off Guantou's back and thought happily.
"Garlic, you know you are not allowed to go there? Those turtle guys who are watching you are not allowed to go either."
When Garlic returned to the water, Chen Ling did not forget to point to the direction of the stream and give instructions to it.
The cucumbers and tomatoes behind the hut were growing wildly and in a mess, so Chen Ling used wire ropes to build a frame. Within a few days, he put fences in front and back of the hut, and a tree-lined path connected to the stream.
, also separated by a fence gate.
Otherwise, Chen Ling is afraid that the old turtles will run there after they come ashore. When the stream is harmed by them, people will not be able to eat. But the old turtles in the pond are getting bigger day by day, and the small fence gate cannot stop them.
of.
Fortunately, the mother turtle has become wise now, and it can understand simple words. Just give it a warning.
Chen Ling can also worry less.
After seeing the old turtles here, Chen Ling went to observe the eel fry that he brought into the cave the night before yesterday. There were more than ten of them, and he put them in an iron bucket. At that time, it was filled with stream water, and he threw in a handful of water plants.
Don't worry about it.
Now when I go over and take a look, my good guys are almost a foot long.
You must know that when these eel fry were first put in three days ago, they were still like red threads, less than two centimeters. Now they have grown to be so big, thin and long, and each one is very beautiful.
It is well-proportioned, about ten centimeters in length, and when swimming, it looks like red ropes floating in the water.
"Look at this posture, you can grow into a big fish in half a month..."
"His grandma's, isn't this a quick money-making machine?"
When Chen Ling saw this, he slapped his thigh excitedly.
But then he thought about it and quickly calmed down.
It's no good, it doesn't grow fast, and it's not always possible to find a suitable buyer. After all, there are not many people like Bobcat who ask for five thousand yuan a piece.
He didn't want to sell his two grandchildren, Sun Yanhong and Erzhu.
"Forget it, let's keep it for now. Anyway, we're not short of money now."
Chen Ling shook his head.
It's too much trouble to find customers, so just let it happen.
Then I went to the lotus pond again, wondering if I could build a lotus pond in my yard in the next two days and raise a few fish to add some fun to the summer.
In fact, he also wanted to open a pond in the field, but Wang Susu was unwilling to let him bother with it after planting the saplings, so he kept the open space untouched.
"But it's okay to dig a small lotus pond at home, and it won't take up much space..."
Having made up his mind, Chen Ling walked slowly down the stone arch bridge.
After returning to the hut, I picked another peach from the peach tree and left the cave.
This peach is as big as a baby's head, white and red inside, huge and plump. Even before you eat it, just the smell of it makes it very tempting.
Chen Ling wiped the fluff on the surface and took a bite. In an instant, the full juice filled the entire mouth. The delicious and sweet taste of the peach seemed to be magnified countless times, blooming from the tip of the tongue and then spreading throughout the body.
After Chen Ling took a bite, he couldn't stop swallowing at all. He swallowed the peach as big as a baby's head in three swipes. It wasn't until there was only a small peach core left in his hand that he couldn't recall the contents in it.
Taste, but no matter how I think about it, I just remember that the peach is delicious, juicy and meaty, with a fragrance that I have never tasted before. After eating, not only did my body feel refreshed, my mind became much clearer, and my whole body was sweating.
My pores were stretched, as if I was in a state of ecstasy.
Chen Ling exhaled happily: "This guy is really a fairy peach. When the peaches outside are ripe in a few days, I will take them out and give Su Su a taste."
With a slight sigh, Chen Ling dug a small hole and planted the peach core in his hand, and didn't care about it anymore.
Get up and carry the basket to cut the grass.
In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.
…
"The wheat shoots are yellow, and the girl looks after her mother." Since the wheat has turned apricot, and the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, more and more people are visiting relatives on the road.
A married woman often has to visit her parents' house before harvesting wheat.
People walking, riding donkeys, and riding bicycles, just take a look, they are absolutely indispensable on the road these days.
When visiting relatives, you can't go empty-handed. There are baskets, bags, and boxes on your arms, filled with fresh fruits for eating.
Mothers and daughters don't care whether they meet more or less. Once they get together, they have endless things to talk about. They talk about missing each other, talk about family life, praise their husbands, and naturally talk about trivial and annoying things.
When it was time for dinner, the daughter went into the kitchen with her mother again, cooking a good meal as she did before she was married, to honor her parents.
The girl looks after her mother, while the man stays at home and does some chores before the wheat harvest.
Otherwise it is said that when the awns meet the Dragon Boat Festival (Dragon Boat Festival), ten families will have fires and nine families will die. It means that during this season, there are many relatives visiting, and families with few families will only have one man at home to guard the wheat fields. Sometimes, something will inevitably go wrong and fires will occur.
If you are careless when cooking, or you are so busy that you forget to cook, it is easy to cause a fire.
During the wheat harvest season, a fire is a terrible thing, especially for people who are close to the wheat fields. As long as there are a little sparks flying out, that person will suffer a big disaster. When a fire sweeps across, it can burn down most of the village's year's rations.
, half-yellow wheat is burned by fire in such weather, and crackling fire shoots into the sky. Coupled with the southeast wind, it can sweep dozens of acres of land in the blink of an eye, making it impossible to save it.
So these days, large water tanks are placed on the ridges of many wheat fields to store a whole tank of water in case of accidents.
But no matter what, the village has obviously become lively in the past two days.
Even Mrs. Wang's house smelled of meat.
Chen Ling had nothing to do at home these two days, so he discussed with Wang Susu and planned to open a small pond at home, plant some lotus flowers, and raise some fish.
It was not just a waste of money, so naturally Wang Susu would not refuse to agree, so she helped him dig a small pond to the east of the grape trellis.
This morning, the young couple had just finished their work, when suddenly the two dogs at home started barking, and then they heard the sound of a motorcycle engine coming from far away.
Chen Ling thought that Chen Erzhu's grandson was coming again, so he got up and went to the door to see.
When he walked out of the door, he saw a tall, dark young man on a yellow scooter, leaning his big head and grinning stupidly at him. Behind him was a girl wearing a white shirt and a ponytail.
"Hey, Ling Zi, you didn't expect it was me."
"Chuangzi!"
Chen Ling was really shocked when he saw these two people.
"Good guy, why are you here? Come home quickly, come home quickly."
Wang Susu heard the voice and walked out quickly.
