Chapter 1131: People's Livelihood Is Flowing Like a Stream
"Grandfather, look, I caught a hedgehog." The kid from Xiaquan Village came to his grandfather with a hedgehog in one hand and a lantern in the other.
Hedgehogs will steal melons to eat, and they will not only focus on one to eat, but also bite it badly, eat a few bites, and then find it difficult to get in, so they will find another one to bite.
Xiaquan Village has a small population and cannot take good care of all the land.
They followed the method provided by Li Yi, planted a few thorns outside the land, and led the water out to make a small pool outside.
In this way, wild animals have water to drink, and they will not risk being scratched by the growing thorns and rushing in.
Badgers and hedgehogs are small in size, so thorns can't stop them.
The village still follows the method taught by Li Yi, raising dogs, raising a group of dogs.
Go to other villages to ask for dogs, dogs are not valuable, and some families can't afford to raise a litter of puppies, so they find a place to dig a pit and bury them.
Those who can be raised are raised, and they are strangled to death and eaten when they grow up.
They don’t call dogs sons or darlings, and they don’t allow dogs to enter the house.
They don’t even have a doghouse. In winter, they throw some hay in the corner of the yard, and the dogs will nest there.
When there are many dogs, they will huddle together to keep warm.
Dogs can’t eat meat. If they want to eat, they will catch mice and other small animals.
When the owner buys meat and there are bones, they will give them to the dogs after the bones are stewed and tasteless.
The dogs will be very happy, thinking that the owner is good to them, and it is fun to chew bones to grind their teeth.
If you stew rotten food for the dogs, the dogs will feel like it’s New Year’s Day.
Everyone raises dogs like this, and no one regards dogs as good things, except for the hunting dogs raised by hunters.
The village asked for dozens of dogs, bought old rice and wheat, even those eaten by insects, and added rotten vegetable leaves from the fields, cooked a big pot, and fed the dogs.
In this way, the dogs are very satisfied, especially the dogs brought back when they are four or five months old.
In their original home, they sometimes used their claws to dig the ground to find earthworms, snails, etc. to eat.
Occasionally, they also ate grass on the roadside. If it was the kind with hemp seeds, they would be full after eating it.
Now they are actually cooked for them, which is better than the previous owner.
A group of dogs were thrown out in the field. They would fight, choose a leader, and then run around.
At night, if there was any movement, they would run over to find out if they could eat and bark.
In order to prevent the dogs from always gathering together and try to disperse them to various locations on the ground, the villagers built doghouses with wood and grass.
When patrolling every day, they would take a shovel and bury the dog feces.
Dogs are not as good as cats in this respect. Cats can dig holes by themselves and bury them after they are done.
Unless they are specially trained dogs, they will excrete wherever they go.
The little kid heard the dogs barking, took a lantern to see, and found that several dogs surrounded a hedgehog, carefully poking it with their claws, as if they wanted to eat it.
The kid brought it back, and the dog wagged its tail to please him, then turned around to look for something else to eat.
Watermelons were growing nearby, but the dog would not eat them. If it ate them, it would be beaten, beaten hard, kicked, and screamed when kicked, and it didn't dare to hide.
After a few times, the dog knew that it couldn't touch this.
But the watermelon rind given by the owner after eating the watermelon can be chewed. Because there are many watermelons, the villagers eat some of the rind as vegetables, and give the rest to the dog.
Like eggplants and cucumbers, the dog will not touch them no matter how they are placed.
If maggots crawl out of the toilet, even if the dog has something delicious, it will still compete with the chicken.
Chickens, dogs can actually eat, but they still don't dare.
"The village needs to buy a pig. The ones we raise are still small. The ones we buy should be stewed twice less, and the dog can eat some bones with meat."
The old man took the hedgehog. He collected a lot of hedgehogs. When there are 100 of them, they will be killed and eaten, so that everyone in the village can have a good meal.
The skin is processed and sent to Li's village to make medicine.
The soup made of hedgehog meat, with some millet with worms and vegetable leaves, is fed to the dog. The dog is enjoying a good life!
"Grandfather, have you caught the wolf? I dare not go out. The wolf will bite me to death and eat me." The little boy swallowed his saliva. He wanted to eat stewed pork.
"I told the county. The county wants to send people. Alas! When I sent melons a few days ago, I told them to take a message. When we arrived in Chang'an, it should be possible."
The old man did not expect the county at all. How could the yamen runners catch wolves in such a poor place?
It was impossible to catch them even if they set a trap. The wolves were very smart.
The only place he could expect was Lijiazhuangzi. He talked to them and saw what to do. If there were not so many dogs, the child in the family would have been taken away.
The old man was worried. The neighbor's five fat children were seven years old.
When he was herding sheep, he encountered a pack of wolves. There were eight or nine of them. The wolves wanted to eat sheep and children.
Thanks to a group of dogs, more than forty dogs rushed over and forced the wolves back.
If there are not enough dogs, they cannot beat the wolves. Some powerful wolves bite dogs, and other dogs dare not come forward.
Dogs that can protect people are different. After saving Wu Panger, they can't be killed even if they keep him until he dies.
So the village is thinking about buying a pig to leave more meat and cartilage for the dog to eat.
Dogs that protect their masters in the face of wolves should not be treated the same as other dogs.
…
It was dawn, the sixteenth day of the sixth lunar month.
People from Xiaquan Village came, and they went to the Yellow River.
On land, they went to Wushui, then to Wushui, and then to the Yellow River. After coming here, the boats entered the Caoqu, turned to Bashui, and arrived.
A pile of hedgehog skins were delivered, and the watermelons were directly unloaded outside.
"Master Li, we encountered wolves there. It seemed that there were more than ten of them. They almost ate Xiao Pang, who was only seven years old."
Village Chief Guo Shou led the team to deliver the things and explained the situation.
They don’t want money for hedgehog skins, and they also offer badger skins and other animal skins as a way to repay a favor.
Li’s village helped dig a well, and also provided money-making opportunities, such as how to build a kang and where to find coal.
When something happened, he did not plan to find other people, it was useless, the Ming government could not send out yamen runners.
The main reason was that the yamen runners did not dare to go, there were so many wolves, and one of them would be eaten by a wolf accidentally.
“I plan to build a cement factory in our place and repair the road. The road to Wushui is not easy to walk on, and it is still difficult to borrow your animals to walk.
Especially for transporting watermelons, if it weren’t for our village’s efforts, the watermelons would only rot in the fields.”
Li Yi did not mention the wolf matter, the wolf was a small problem, and he said he would deal with it.
“We help to repair it, can we burn cement? We can’t, read the newspaper, UU reading www.uukanshu.net It takes a lot of money.” Guo Shou was quite excited.
Burn cement, build houses in your own village, build walls, and don’t worry about wild animals rushing into the yard at night.
"Qingsong, I'll write a note. After breakfast, you take Uncle Guo to see Minister Wei." Li Yi said to Qingsong.
"Got it, host." Qingsong agreed. He quickly ate breakfast. He chose fried noodles with soybean paste today because it was hot.
The other three eunuchs had tofu soup and buns, so Li Yi called Qingsong.
After dinner, Qingsong took the note and left the manor with Guo Shou.
"I'll take Wen Tian over there, deal with the wolf, fly there, and come back within three days." Li Yi was depressed staying in the manor, and he wanted to go out.
Princess Yongmu's eyes lit up. Oh, can you fly?
I've never flown before, not even on a hot air balloon.
