As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 602 The boy catches the chicken

It's fairly easy to go down the mountain along the road Habayashi Wei took before.

The ground is covered with a layer of dry fallen leaves, which are a bit soft to step on. It is afternoon now, and the torture of the sun and flames is cruel. The leaves on the high branches are glowing with yellow. The wind blows by, and the yellow leaves are vulnerable to the blow and fall miserably.

As soon as they returned to the foot of the mountain through the dense forest and vines, they saw several teenagers with tanned skin, hunched over and furtively hiding in the grass.

Seeing their posture, Yu Linwei thought they were trying to ambush the county lord. He did not relax his vigilance just because he was facing a child. His eagle eyes flashed sharply, and he subconsciously put his hand on the sword at his waist. .

Seeing this, Li Yiniu quickly stopped him, "Hey, brother Yuwei, don't be nervous, these teenagers are catching birds and chickens."

"Catching birds? Catching chickens?" An eagle-eyed feather guard put down his hand doubtfully, "There are many wild animals in the foggy green mountains. It is not safe to catch chickens here. Where are their adults? Why aren't they here?"

Li Yiniu laughed. He had seen this kind of scene many times. The first time he saw these boys catching chickens here, he also scolded them severely, but they deserved good treatment in front of him, but he turned around and said I went to catch chickens secretly, and I really refused to change despite repeated admonitions.

But one time he saw them catch a python with thick thighs and a fire-burning pig in a trap, so he didn't care about these teenagers anymore.

"They are more useful than adults, especially the two brothers Wu Liang and Wu Yuan... County Lord, do you have any impression that Wu Chuan, who was named Si Chenqing by you and is also the head of Aojia Village, is the Wu Chuan family?" The kids... I don’t think you need to worry about them at all. Even though they are young, they are quite measured in what they do. They don’t dare to run up the mountain and will only hang out at the foot of the mountain. Moreover, these two boys from the Wu family, The friends I play with are not weaklings, most of them are young monks.”

"These kids are quite courageous." Hawkeye Yuwei said.

Hearing Li Yiniu's words, Jiang Ran looked around silently and saw that the teenagers had placed a large basket cover in a more open area. A branch pushed the basket out of the opening, and a rope was tied to the branch. ——This is a very basic bird trap.

It's just that the red crystal wheat and wheat tumor red worms were scattered under the basket as if they were free, which made several feather guards curse them for using red crystal wheat to catch chickens so wastefully. Would the parents really not get spanked if they found out?

After all, they had done this kind of thing when they were children. They just grabbed a handful of wheat from home and were told by the adults that it was a waste, and they were chased and beaten.

Jiang Ran raised his left hand and gestured to the people behind him, who immediately fell silent and slowed down their steps.

The next second, as if echoing Jiang Ran's movements, a rustling sound came from somewhere in the jungle, and a pheasant with gray-blue feathers flew out.

Its tail is very long, and when the feathers are gathered together, it looks like a pointed stick standing diagonally upward. If you make it angry, it seems that it can pierce your throat with its spiked tail.

It is indeed a chicken, named Blue-spotted Chicken. It can be regarded as a kind of spiritual bird. It should be the more common wild spiritual chicken in Wulian Qingshan.

It is larger than the average pheasant, and even comparable to domestic geese. It has a body that makes people drool. No wonder Wu Liang and the others want to squat here to catch it.

I saw this blue-spotted bird flapping its wings gently and landing not far from the trap. Its eyes flashed with alertness, and it jumped step by step toward the red worms and red crystal wheat in the basket, as if testing potential enemies. go.

Wu Liang and others held their breath. This was not the first time they had set traps to capture prey, so the more they tried to catch prey, the more they could hold their breath.

After about ten minutes, the blue-spotted chicken had slowly moved under the basket. It gently took a bite of the plump red worm with its sharp beak. It was intoxicated by the delicious food. It seemed to After confirming that there was no danger around, he couldn't wait to get under the basket, nodding his head up and down at a very fast speed——

"bump--"

At this moment, the half-propelled basket suddenly fell down, covering the blue-spotted chicken underneath.

"Quick, quick, quick! Press on, don't let it run away." Wu Liang was overjoyed and rushed over as fast as he could, pressing the basket with his own body. Several teenagers behind him rushed over to hug the basket and held it with their hands. The weight of the body pressed down on the basket.

The fierce-looking eagle-eyed feather guard was still thinking about whether several people should press together at first, but the next moment he saw the basket shaking crazily, and the teenagers seemed to be sitting on an ox cart driving on the bumpy road, their bodies following The movement below continued to jolt.

"Are these gray and blue chickens so strong?" Hawkeye Feather Guard was stunned.

After a lot of effort, when the blue-spotted chicken was exhausted, Wu Liang dragged it out of the basket and tied its legs and wings with hemp rope.

The teenagers were very happy and said with the sound of swallowing saliva, "Brother Liang, let's roast this chicken and eat it."

"I've already said that you can't eat the blue-spotted chickens you catch." Wu Liang rolled his eyes, feeling helpless for his group of little ones who just wanted to eat.

"This is a hen that can lay eggs. The blue-spotted eggs sell very well. Last time my father took me to the market, the blue-spotted eggs sold for the price of three crystals."

"So much money!" The friends opened their eyes wide. For them, three gold coins are a lot of money.

For young monks like them, pure crystals are a necessary consumer product. If they want to become powerful monks, they cannot be satisfied with the one or two pure crystals issued by the county government!

"Chickens lay eggs, eggs lay chickens, and chickens and eggs make money. Let's catch more blue-spotted chickens and raise them!"

They followed Wu Liang and caught blue-spotted chickens before, but they all ate them. Now they think about it and regret it.

"My family provided the tools, and I came up with the idea. The first blue-spotted chicken today belongs to me, and the second one belongs to my brother. If we catch more blue-spotted chickens later, I will share them with you. But you all have to contribute. Whoever contributes the most will get the first share."

Wu Liang thought for a while and said, "If you catch ordinary pheasants and small birds, roast them and eat them."

"Okay!!" The teenagers were so happy that they were so excited that they couldn't show off their strength for a while.

……

Jiang Ran listened to the young men's words and did not disturb these young men with Yu Wei.

When they came to the plains, Eagle Eye Feather Guard held an umbrella for Jiang Ran to block the scorching sun.

Jiang Ran asked Li Yiniu, "It seems that the livestock in Aojia Village are well raised?"

Li Yiniu nodded, "It's indeed very good. More than half of the eggs in the county come from Aojia Village. Under the leadership of Si Chenqing, Aojia Village has joined forces to raise fire-burning pigs. They are monsters with violent personalities. , they may have lost a small life accidentally, but they really raised them. Last year, they killed two pigs and sold them in the market. The sales were very good, and it is said that they made a lot of money. Now they have started to raise them again. Apart from the blue-spotted chicken, Aojia Village may be the second richest among the villages near the town."

As for which village is the richest, you don’t need to think too much. The answer is Nanzhu Village.
