My 1995 Small Farm.

Wang Wenchao and the others, seeing the geese so close they could be caught with their bare hands, were already itching to grab them, their hearts pounding with excitement...

Several times, geese even stepped over them.

They ate and defecated at the same time, leaving behind clumps of warm goose droppings around them.

They're so easy to get, you can just stretch out your arms and grab one, and there are so many, you can grab them by hand, you don't even need a net.

Who can bear this?
If Chen Ling hadn't been there, they would have already attacked.

Finally, Chen Ling spoke.

They sprang to their feet and shouted, "Pull up the net!"

The wild goose, which was enjoying its meal, was caught off guard and startled by this unexpected situation.

Startled, it squawked and flapped its wings to escape.

But it was already too late.

Chen Ling and his partner worked in pairs, pulling large nets and shaking and securing them, just like two people shaking a huge bed sheet.

In an instant, geese were caught in the net, honking in terror, flapping their wings frantically, and jumping and crashing around inside.

At that moment, all Chen Ling and his companions could hear was the flapping of geese's wings and their honking.

It was like a pot exploding in my ears.

But to Chen Ling and the others, it was the most beautiful sound, and they all laughed so hard their mouths stretched to the back of their ears.

A phoenix that has fallen to the ground is no better than a chicken.

That's absolutely true.

The wild goose is flying so high in the sky that it can't be hit by a gun.

It's harder to encounter them when they're flying low.

It's easier to catch the geese that have landed on the ground.

With over a hundred geese, although many escaped, the harvest was still a great success.

At this moment, Heiwa Xiaojin, who had been lying in ambush by the ditch, also rushed out, barking as he chased after the fleeing geese.

Large birds of prey, such as geese, need to perform a running start-like motion when taking off from the ground.

This gave the two dogs the opportunity to give chase.

Although Heiwa was too strong and not very agile, he could still catch one or two geese without any problem.

Besides, it was bullied by this thing when it was a puppy, and most of its fur was pecked off.

They chased after it with incredible enthusiasm.

Xiao Jin was much calmer; it was also quite agile and could jump exceptionally high.

Often, it would leap up easily, jumping two meters high, grabbing the goose by the neck, and using the momentum and inertia of the jump, it would land with the goose in its mouth in a beautiful backflip.

Her movements were graceful, clean, and efficient.

With such skills, catching geese is a piece of cake.

In fact, even if the two dogs couldn't catch many geese at once, they could easily catch one or two by staking out this spot at night.

Even though the geese were indeed very slippery this year.

They slip and slide through the wheat fields, their mealtimes extremely short.

Before anyone could catch them, they had already eaten and run away.

Of course, as long as the dog is kept here in time, it will definitely not fail.

In other words, now that there are young children at home, they are different from the little blue horses. They will not easily come out to hunt alone at night, but will stay outside the bedroom all night.

Even if an insect tries to crawl in, it will immediately crawl up and bite it to death.

As for Er Tuzi, who has a natural advantage, he is just like Xiao Qingma, and can never be seen all day long, so he can't be relied on at all.

Otherwise, Chen Ling would have eaten wild geese long ago.

The moonlight was as white as frost, and the bustling activity in the wheat field startled the villagers, especially those living on the edge of the village, many of whom got up and put on their clothes to watch the excitement.

In the distance, in the wheat field, Chen Ling and his team had spread out a large net and caught so many geese.

Everyone was stunned.

"Wow, so many geese! Fugui and his friends have made a fortune."

No sooner had I finished speaking than I heard someone shout from the other side, "I can't hold him down! Come and help!"

Geese are very strong.

It is much stronger than a goose.

With so many of them clustered together, the net is about to tear.

They were so anxious that they frantically called for help.

At this point, the villagers no longer cared about watching the spectacle.

He rushed over to help.

They arrived just in time.

One of the nets was just broken open.

Several villagers who rushed over quickly took off their clothes and used them to drench the area.

But geese are not chicks after all; when they fight back, they are not to be trifled with.

In their haste, several people lost their grip, causing the wild geese to peck at their hands and arms until they were bruised and sore.

Wang Laiyun is old and has difficulty catching geese, so he simply hugs one of them tightly in his arms.

As a result, one wing failed to catch him and hit his face and head, cutting his face.

The old man got angry, grabbed the goose's wing with his mouth, rolled it to the ground, and pinned it down...

Then he reached for his belt with one hand.

He pulled on his belt and tied the goose's two wings together.

After tying him up securely, he cursed angrily, "You son of a bitch, serves you right for being disobedient, serving you right for daring to slap me! I'll stew you when we get home!"

The old man has life experience and wants to find simple and useful tricks, which some teenagers wouldn't be able to do.

Even so, they couldn't hold onto the wild geese.

He desperately hugged the goose, lowered his head and pressed down on its body, and ran home with his eyes half-closed.

He shouted that he had also caught a goose.

The wild geese honked wildly in his arms, flapping their wings frantically and slapping his face repeatedly.

My face stung from the slap.

But at that moment, I didn't feel any pain at all; my heart was filled with excitement and exhilaration.

He ran to the nearest house and shouted, "Grandpa, Grandma, we've caught a goose! Quickly close the door so it can't fly away again!"

Ignoring the blood on his face, he turned and ran off to help catch the geese. It was just past five in the morning, and the moon was still high in the sky.

The wheat fields outside the village suddenly became lively.

More and more people came, and the geese in the large net were carried back to the village. When the net broke, people carried them back and forth to catch them.

Erhei and the pack of dogs had already run over.

Afu and Ashou had already arrived.

The little ones were also startled and followed the adults, excitedly shouting.

We've caught so many geese, where should we put them?

Everyone started arguing, each offering their own opinion.

Finally, Chen Ling shouted, "Stop arguing, clip the wings first, then separate the geese!"

The decision was made to temporarily place it in the courtyard where Wang Lihui's mother lives.

Just as Chen Ling said, for no other reason than to find a place to clip the wings of these big birds.

Then you don't need to keep an eye on them all the time.

You can grab one whenever you want to eat it.

As for dividing the geese, they will definitely be divided.

Everyone contributed.

Regardless of the amount distributed, everyone who sees it gets a share, and everyone is happy.

The Wang brothers, who had just lost their father, excitedly shouted, "Starting tomorrow, we'll stew a wild goose every day and let Fugui use as much oil as he wants!"

After that, they went back to each house to get scissors and sat in and out of the yard to trim the wings of the geese.

Wang Lihui's mother's courtyard was relatively empty; apart from a few large grain vats, there was nothing else in the east room.

They threw all the captured geese inside, closed the door, and blocked the windows tightly with bricks.

They didn't care that the animals were flying and jumping around inside.

But then they found a wild goose on this side of the door. They reached through the crack in the door and grabbed one out. Two people held it down while one clipped its wings.

The wings, including the wing roots, were cut short.

After cutting it, I just tossed it into the yard.

No matter how much it flapped its two bare wings, how anxiously it squawked, it could no longer fly.

They couldn't escape.

Of course, Heiwa and the others are watching over things.

That's right, the once bluish-green geese have become bald and much uglier.

I worked from the early hours of the morning until dawn.

However, since there is strength in numbers, Chen Ling even had time to cook breakfast at the courtyard where Wang Laifu's funeral was being held.

The congee was served with Wang Jusheng's pickled vegetables, leftover pig's head meat from last night, and a pot of freshly braised meat.

Eat however you like.

There was such a large flock of geese.

Everyone forgot about breakfast and excitedly took ink to mark the geese.

According to Chen Ling's proposed distribution method, although all the villagers who went to help would receive a share, Chen Ling would ultimately take the largest share, as he was the one who came up with the idea.

In the end, Chen Ling received twenty-three of them.

Of course, he also brought out the few dogs that his own dogs had killed and invited everyone to eat them when he built the shed.

Or when catching fish fry, if there is a large demand for them, people will be hired to help, and the fry will be offered to everyone.

At breakfast time at the funeral, Chen Ling and his group were eating and chatting in the yard when they suddenly saw several people riding bicycles past from outside the village.

Chen Ling hurriedly called out, "Hongbo, Hongbo, come here quickly... Our village caught a lot of geese today, take two with you when you go back."

"No, no, we've been busy here for half a day, and we still have to go to your village this afternoon."

Zhao Hongbo quickly stopped and pushed his cart over, saying, "I've had a lot of work these past few days, so even if you gave me a goose, I couldn't take it back."

"Wow, look how popular this job is, earning two jobs a day!" Chen Ling laughed upon hearing this.

When Zhao Hongbo visited his home last time, he mentioned that they were basically the only construction team left in the county, and people were looking for them everywhere.

Zhao Hongbo shook his head: "It's not that we're popular, it's that we have no choice. If it were possible, we wouldn't want to get up early and work so far, the mountain roads are so difficult to travel."

Chen Ling raised an eyebrow: "Why is there no way?! If you don't want to go, can anyone force you to go?"

Zhao Hongbo smiled wryly: "No, it's your side. These two brothers are said to have been cursed by evil spirits. They stopped working these past two days, and we've only been working for Old Wang."

That old scoundrel Wang complains that our wages are too high, and damn it, he doesn't even provide meals!

He doesn't provide meals, so we'll work for half a day, and the rest can be done by your village.

Anyway, they're contracting out the work.

The township was pressing for payment, offering generous sums and providing two meals a day.

As soon as he said this, the crowd started cursing: "That damn old bastard Wang, he's as bad as ever, that old bastard, he'll be childless sooner or later."

When Wang Laochou was a village cadre, he offended many people, and there were many in the village who hated him.

"By the way, what happened to the Wang brothers? Were they cursed?"

After cursing Wang Laochou, the group of people pulled Zhao Hongbo aside and asked him questions out of curiosity.

Chen Ling was also curious. He had recently become quite interested in such mysterious and strange things, so he pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"I don't know. They said they saw the old lady from your village doctor's family and found out she had some evil spirits on her. They told them to go to the local temple to burn incense and something. We don't know any more details. We just heard Wang Laochou's wife mention it a couple of times."

As Zhao Hongbo spoke, he asked curiously, "What, is this something that happened in your village? Haven't you heard anyone talking about it?"

"Tch, so what if they're from the same village? These two families are both incredibly unlikable. Who cares about them? It would be best if they all died in the process."

"Those two families are utterly wicked, yet they dared to come back to the village. This is their just desserts."

Hearing that the Wang brothers had gotten into trouble, everyone felt a sense of satisfaction.

Chen Ling didn't have any deep-seated hatred for these two brothers, but it was certain that he didn't like them and they talked badly about him behind his back.

However, the two brothers' mother, Aunt Wang Er, and their sister, Wang Maisui, were all very kind to Chen Ling.

Mai Sui, in particular, like Chen Ze's older sister Chen Fang, has always been very kind to him since childhood.

He's just unaware of what happened. If he knew it was because the two brothers were cursing him, and Afu and Ashou overheard it, he would have almost pounced on them.

That's what scared the two of them.

I don't know what to think.

Of course, he would never know how much psychological trauma the little blue horse had caused to others after taking a stroll outside last night.

For a time, those who went to Sister-in-law Xiufen's house for medical treatment were either afflicted by evil spirits or had lost their souls from fright. (End of Chapter)
