Chapter 11593

"Mom, let me hammer these wooden stakes. I'm stronger than you. Please help me cut some fishing net cloth."

In the backyard, Yang Ruoqing rolled up her sleeves and prepared to get to work.

Dad is not at home, uncle is not at home, Luo Fengtang, Da'an and Xiao'an are not at home either.

These heavy work that originally belonged to men are now Yang Ruoqing's turn.

Sun was reluctant to let Yang Ruoqing exert any effort, and said, "Don't worry, I'll wait for your father to come back and fix it. There's no need to rush."

Yang Ruoqing knew Sun's intention very well, and said with a smile: "Mom, this is not a strenuous job like chopping wood, I can do it!"

"Besides, there have been a lot of weasels in our backyard lately. If we reinforce and protect the chicken coop earlier, we can recover the loss earlier and avoid killing any chickens!"

When Yang Ruoqing said this, she found that the expression on Sun's face could really be described with words like heartache, flesh pain, and pain in the heart, liver, spleen, and lungs.

How could Yang Ruoqing not feel distressed as well?

In fact, the incident happened two days before she and Luo Fengtang took the children to Huguang County.

At that time, only a chicken was lost, and no one thought much about it, because it was not uncommon for farmers to lose chickens.

After all, this place is backed by mountains, and it is common for hungry wild beasts in the mountains to come to the village to steal chickens, ducks and pigs.

In addition, some stray dogs in the village also like to chase and bite chickens and ducks.

In addition, the chickens and ducks go out to play during the day. They are all free-range here. It is common for them to play too much outside at night, get lost, and forget to return home.

So when the third room lost its first chicken, no one paid much attention to it. Only chicken farmers like Sun cared about the chickens and searched everywhere for them and called out to them.

As for the others, they were preparing for the trip to Huguang County and did not have much energy to devote to trivial matters such as finding chickens.

As a result, when Yang Ruoqing and her friends returned from Huguang County, the third house had lost three chickens in succession.

There was no trace of the three missing chickens, and everyone had all kinds of suspicions. Sun even privately asked Yang Ruoqing if Liu had taken them away.

Later, Luo Fengtang continued to look for clues near the chicken coop of the third room. His hard work paid off. He was worthy of being a great general, a man who could do great things. He was also careful in thinking even in such small matters and was good at discovering problems that others could not find.

He started from a very inconspicuous small footprint at the scene and followed the footprints all the way, then found the missing chickens near a dried-up ditch behind the third room.

Of course, the chickens had died long ago, but the meat and feathers on their bodies were still there. The only thing missing was the blood!

Yes, several chickens had their necks bitten and died from excessive blood loss, but there was no blood on the ground. From this, Luo Fengtang inferred that these chickens died because something sucked their blood.

When Luo Fengtang made this speculation, everyone felt a chill down their spines, and they subconsciously thought of the year when the chickens, ducks, pigs, cows, and sheep in the village were also inexplicably drained of blood and died.

Later, Yang Ruoqing and others secretly investigated and found out that the culprit was Dabai!

Dabai himself didn't know because he was poisoned...

Those were all old stories from many years ago, but they really happened, especially since Yang Huazhong personally participated in the detoxification of Dabai.

Later, Luo Fengtang told them that it was not done by humans. Looking at the tooth marks and small footprints on the ground, it was the work of a weasel.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard it was a weasel.

There is a custom in the Mianniu Mountain area that is completely different from that in the north. Northerners are very respectful of Wong Tai Sin, but in Mianniu Mountain, on the seventh day of the first lunar month every year, every household will set off firecrackers to drive away weasels. The sound of firecrackers scares the weasels away from entering the village or coming to the house, and then the chickens and ducks will be prosperous in the next year.

So Sun slapped her thigh and suddenly realized: "No wonder, I said, there was a flood in the first month of this year, and we all moved to the pasture on the third day of the first month. We didn't drive away the weasels on the seventh day. No wonder, no wonder!"

The case was solved, so next, Sun urged Yang Huazhong to quickly prepare wooden stakes and fishing nets and other things to reinforce and defend the chicken coops at home.

Not only the third family, but other families in the village who raised chickens and ducks also quickly took action.

As a result, because Luo Fengtang had to return to the military camp, Yang Huazhong and Sun came to take care of their daughter and son-in-law, such as preparing meals and inviting their son-in-law to come for a meal.

Then Xiaoduo heard that her brother-in-law was going to be away for a while, so she prepared a dinner for Luo Fengtang to go, and Yang Huazhong and Sun were naturally invited to join them.

Your family, my family, this matter, that matter, and the village’s affairs…

As a result, the work of building the chicken coop was delayed again.

The original plan was to set up a chicken coop in the next two days, but then, Tan and Yang Huamei, mother and daughter, came back with a letter, asking Yang Huazhong to go to the town to pick them up and bring them back to stay for two days.

Yang Huazhong is so busy that he never touches the ground! Sun decided not to wait any longer, so she did it herself today.

Because during these few days of waiting and delaying, a hen that had just laid eggs was bitten to death by a weasel!

This time, the weasel not only drank the hen's blood, but also took a few bites of her meat.

Sun was so heartbroken that tears were streaming down her face.

She raised these chickens for laying eggs. When she had collected a hundred eggs, she would share them with her grandchildren in several places.

Raise it until the end of the year, when the children come back to celebrate the New Year and have chicken soup to drink.

It's only been half a year and several weasels have been killed. I feel so heartbroken!

"Mom, look, is it okay to drive the wooden stake like this?" Yang Ruoqing's voice brought Sun back to her senses.

She turned her head and saw the two wooden stakes Yang Ruoqing was pointing at. She said, "Move them closer together, and better yet, place them closer together. This way, even if the weasel bites through the fishing net, it won't be able to get in."

"Okay, I'll move a little further."

"Okay, this is the best." Sun raised two fingers and gestured, very satisfied.

"Mom, then I'll hit you with the hammer?"

"Okay, I'll help you hold on, and you swing the hammer."

"Haha, mom, aren't you panicking or shaking? Aren't you afraid that I'll hit your hand?"

"Haha, silly boy, I believe you!" Sun smiled gently, "Besides, it won't matter even if it hits you, just keep swinging your hammer."

"Okay, thank you for your trust!"

The mother and daughter, one holding the stakes while the other swung a hammer, drove the wooden stakes into the soil around the chicken coop, making it very secure.

After they had smashed the wooden stakes, the mother and daughter began to wrap the cut fishing net cloth around the wooden stakes in double layers to make a fence nearly one meter high.
