Song Tan’s Chronicle

Chapter 182: 182. Wild boar and pheasant

Views:

Song Tan really didn't notice the news at this moment.

She was carrying a basket, weeding and killing insects in the vegetable garden, and saving food for the chickens and ducks.

No wonder these weeds have such strong vitality. Not long after the seedlings were transplanted, they broke through the soil and were almost as tall as the seedlings.

Looking from afar, it is so poetic, the grass seems green at a distance but is not there when you get close!

But it’s a different story in the vegetable garden.

Now that there was no manpower available, Song Tan just started pulling weeds in handfuls along the ridges of the fields. Fortunately, it had only been a few days, so the grass sprouts were not deeply rooted and were not densely packed, so the progress seemed to be fast.

The seedlings in the two paddy fields at the bottom are growing lushly. The water in the paddy fields is so clear that you can see the green grass and small fish below.

The fish was really too small, not even as big as the wheatear fish before. Song Tan looked at the seedlings that were not tall enough, and thought regretfully: It would be great if ducks could be let in.

It’s a pity that ducks eat everything and the seedlings are still small, so I dare not let them in now.

She looked at the rice field in fascination for a while, wishing that time would speed up and the rice ears would grow quickly. She really missed rice.

Old man Li was also pulling the weeds at the edge of the vegetable field, while watching Dabao and Erbao jumping back and forth in the vegetable fields, and a big smile appeared on his face involuntarily:

"Tan Tan, you have to give Dabao and Erbao more meat and bones to eat at night. They work so hard every day."

When the seeds have not yet sprouted, magpies will come to dig them up, and they will have to work hard to drive the birds away.

Now the seeds have sprouted and are lush and green, but there are mountains on the other side of the field, with pheasants and rabbits flying around...

Dabao and Erbao were very responsible in protecting the baby, so they didn't ruin it.

When this thing comes to the field, in the past, whether it is trapping rabbits or hunting pheasants, it is always a piece of meat.

Today…

well!

Look, Old Man Li is still sighing:

"A pheasant flew over yesterday. Its tail was almost a meter long! It was colorful and beautiful."

But the old man also felt wronged: "I didn't dare to catch it, and it was Dabao and Erbao who drove it away. It almost destroyed the seedlings."

Everyone in the village knew about this. The pheasant was so beautiful that it made quite a noise when it flew over. Some people even took a video of it.

This video was circulated in the village group, and their young party secretary even tagged everyone in the group: Don’t touch the pheasant!

The one with such a long tail must be a long-tailed pheasant, which should be at least a Grade 2 pheasant. If it's Grade 1 pheasant... maybe it won't have to worry about retirement.

After saying this, Old Man Li felt a little hesitant looking at the rice fields today.

Song Tan also laughed: "Grandpa Li, if you think about it this way, there are no more wild rabbits and pheasants in our area now than before. The fact that they can come out now proves that the soil and water in our hometown have improved, and the air is also good. If you live in our hometown, you will definitely live a long life!"

Ouch!

Why does this sound so nice

Old man Li was smiling and now he felt stronger to work.

"Yes, I walk around in the fields every day, and I feel much better than in previous years. Look at my old ox. I was a little late for breakfast yesterday morning, and it was still anxious at home, mooing all the time."

However, despite this, Old Man Li still has something to remind you:

"Tan Tan, there are wild boars on our mountain now. You have to be careful with them, whether it's the peach forest on the mountain or the vegetable field."

The wild boar is picking at grass roots, tree bark and wild vegetables. How can they be as fresh and delicious as the crops in the garden

The key is their habit of digging around. They may not eat everything into their stomachs, but they will definitely dig it out. If you discover it too late, they will be sun-dried to death.

Last year, a large area of the sweet potato field in the neighboring village was dug up. Actually, there was not much to eat, but it was a mess, which was really heartbreaking.

Old man Li couldn't help but nag again:

"This thing runs in the mountains, where there are no wolves or tigers. It is the king of the mountain. It can also reproduce, with several babies in a litter. It has now become a protected animal."

Song Tan laughed and said, "It's okay, Grandpa Li. We are allowed to kill wild boars this year. It's not illegal."

Just like what Old Man Li said, now that the wild boars in the mountains have no natural enemies and are protected, won’t they try their best to give birth to cubs

Last year, several villages reported wild boars damaging crops, and hunting licenses were already available in the city.

It’s only the beginning of spring this year, but there are signs of wild boars roaming around again - well, you don’t need a certificate, as long as you have the ability, just go up the mountain and hunt.

However, despite this, only a handful of people go up the mountain.

After all, it’s a wild boar!

A pig charging forward recklessly can kill people. Everyone has plenty of meat to eat, so who wants to take risks in the mountains

Song Tan was quite looking forward to it.

Nowadays, our family consumes a lot of meat every day. If we can have a wild boar, it can at least make up for the expenses, right

But I can't tell this to Old Man Li, because he has already started to worry:

"Tan Tan, even if it's not against the law, you still have to be alert to these things. If you really see a wild boar digging the ground, scare it from a distance. If it wants to leave, then leave. If it doesn't leave, don't force it to leave."

When wild boars fight, it's not that simple.

Song Tan appreciated the old man's kindness and immediately accepted the offer.

Only then did she have time to look at her cell phone.

The recruitment information sent out in the morning was really attractive because of the phrase "good food and delicious dishes". Many aunties came to send messages for consultation.

But they love long voice messages.

Song Tan just listened to the voice messages and replied to them one by one for a long time.

It was only then that she saw a single message:

I am a male, Xin Jun, 23 years old, and graduated from the School of Education of Huacheng Normal University...

ID picture

Huh?!

Song Tan became excited.

This condition seems to be very good!

Firstly, as a 23-year-old college student, she has enough acceptance and vision for the outside world, and is just the right person to accompany Qiao Qiao and provide guidance.

After all, the teacher, Qibiaoye, is already mature enough, and a younger one will complement each other. In addition, the other party is a boy, so he should have more topics to talk about with Qiao Qiao.

And it’s actually a teachers’ college, this major is absolutely perfect for me!

Song Tan replied without saying anything:

Hello, are you here to apply for Qiao Qiao's tutoring position? Do you know Qiao Qiao's situation

The other party was also in the grocery shopping group, so he should have known the situation clearly. As expected, he got a positive reply very quickly.

Song Tan was also a little impatient:

"Excuse me, when would it be convenient for us to have an interview? Are you in the city? We can provide pick-up and drop-off."

If they don't provide pick-up and drop-off, ordinary people won't be able to find them in this remote area!

Xin Jun, who was far away in Zhucheng, looked at the reply on his phone, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, then booked the ticket without saying a word:

Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, Yuncheng High-speed Railway Station, is that okay
