In the past, Qiaoyun would have been frightened half to death. Now, although she is no longer afraid of her mother-in-law scolding her, she is still anxious. She has watched these chickens grow up one by one: "There are no snakes. I have only heard of chickens." Qun seemed to be frightened by something, Sister-in-law Chunfeng and I went to check it out, but didn't see anything wrong."
In fact, she also saw a few scattered chicken feathers. She thought that this was where the chickens were originally, and it was normal to have chicken feathers.
In the past, only adult chickens were brought up the mountain, and there were no wild animals nearby. The chickens wandered around the house and never got lost.
Now there are more chickens, and they can run in a wider range. If one was lost before, everyone just thought it fell into a pit between rocks and gave up after looking for it.
Now that it's lost again, it certainly can't be ignored anymore.
Jiang Zhi thought for a while: "Tomorrow Errui will build a fence and pen up the chickens to raise them. Stop running around the mountains!"
Except for the lost animals, there are all kinds of animals in the mountains. They were burned away by wildfires in the past, but now it’s time to come back.
Xu Errui stuffed a mouthful of food into his mouth and said vaguely: "Okay, let's build the fence tomorrow. Mom, are those chickens picked up by hawks? I have seen kites flying in the mountains several times during this time!"
"Oh, it's really possible!" Jiang Zhi also reacted at this time.
The harrier, also called the kestrel, is a bird of prey smaller than an eagle and is also a migratory bird.
They are small in size and usually eat pigeons and sparrows. They are not dangerous to adult roosters, but young chickens that have just grown up are their targets.
When I lived in a village, there were people everywhere and no kites ever came down. If it was really this guy, there would be some trouble.
The winter here is not particularly cold, so the kites will stay and overwinter, and your own chickens will become their canteen.
If you want to drive away hawks, you either need to raise a dog. Just swoop down and catch the chicken, and the dog can bark.
Or raise geese. Large geese are not afraid of hawks and can also attack enemies together with the chickens.
Now that we live in the mountains, we can’t find dogs or geese, and it’s too late to raise them now.
The only way is to raise chickens in captivity, which must be fed with food. This is obviously not long-term for Jiang Zhi, who is already short of food.
It's really a big trouble, but that's all it can do now.
Jiang Zhi put down his chopsticks: "Forget it, I won't go picking firethorn fruits tomorrow. I'll make a fence first."
Pyracantha and wild chrysanthemums can be harvested for a long time, so making your own fence won't delay the work.
Early on the next morning, the chickens happily rushed out of the chicken pen, drank water around the mountain spring, and immediately ran to their favorite forest.
Xu Errui had already gone to cut down a large bundle of yellow thorns and branches early in the morning, and trimmed off the side branches with a knife, leaving only long straight strips.
Jiang Zhi placed the branches around the area where the chickens love to stay, inserted one branch straight into the soil every five centimeters, and then braided it horizontally up and down to fix it.
Little Man soon also learned that the chickens were thrown on the cliff and needed to build a fence. He came over with a hatchet to help: "It doesn't matter how big the fence is. The chickens still need to be freed every day to grow fast. They can only be kept for a while. If you have time, you can have someone guard it in the morning and evening." put."
Using people to guard and let go is a stupid method, but it is also the most effective. It is not finished until the chickens grow up and the hawks migrate away.
On this day, both families came to build a fence. There is strength in numbers.
Chunfeng and Xu Errui were cutting tree branches. Xiaoman did not go out, but went to the bottom of the mountain to carry bamboos up.
Several people were busy digging trenches and driving piles along the uneven slopes of the forest. Only after dark did they build a strong fence to prevent weasels and wild dogs from stealing the chickens.
The most important thing is to use branches to build a low shed with a height of only one meter in the middle, so that if a falcon rushes down, the chicks will have a place to hide.
On this day, Jiang Zhi could also see the kite hovering above his head. It was indeed an extraordinary skill to "turn over the kite".
No matter how hard it hid, a sparrow that flew up from the edge of a rice field was caught and carried away by the nimble hawk.
well! It would be great if these hawks came during the wheat harvest. Little Man wouldn't have to guard the wheat field every day.
Everyone was busy on this day, and no one paid attention to the little wild boar next to them that ate, slept, ate, and took a leisurely stroll.
On the second day, as soon as they came out of the pen, the chickens, who were used to running on their legs, wanted to run wildly, so they were driven into the pen.
They didn't feel anything at first, and they still turned over the leaves looking for bugs.
Jiang Zhi is not in a hurry to go out. It remains to be seen how the shelter functions.
Xu Errui is also preparing some branches to complete the final repairs to the fence.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the chickens came out of the pen, the hungry hawks in the sky stared at the chickens.
As if he sensed something was wrong, not far away, a rooster standing on a branch watched the surroundings vigilantly, and from time to time he let out a short "haha" sound in his throat.
The hens stood blankly, looking towards the sky.
At the door of his home, Jiang Zhi also felt something strange about the chickens. When he looked up, he was startled: a falcon hovered silently above his head, targeting the chicks that had just entered the fence.
"Er Rui, be careful, the kite has arrived!" Jiang Zhi shouted.
Xu Errui was still tying branches in the forest. When he heard the sound, he went outside and wanted to drive the hawk away, but it was already too late!
In the sky, the long-planned falcon suddenly dropped like a stone and plunged into the chickens in the forest.
The chickens exploded immediately, some burrowed into the forest, some stayed put, and even the old hens who no longer cared much about the chickens panicked and started clucking in circles.
Xu Errui was furious. This guy was so courageous that he dared to catch a chicken in front of others, so he rushed over to stop him.
It is said that people with good skills are bold, and the kite is the same.
Jiang Zhi once saw chickens hiding under chairs in mountain people's homes, and even bold kites would dare to rush to people and snatch them away.
Now, the kite started catching chickens in front of people, and the chickens rushed into the hiding shed desperately.
However, something shocking happened. The kite folded its wings and easily slid sideways into the low shed. It was useless for the chicken to hide.
In the blink of an eye, the chicken, which had already hid deep in the bushes, was held down by the kite on its back, and could only flap and scream miserably.
The kites and chicks were both inside the shed, and the tree branches that were originally meant to protect them became obstacles to rescue.
Xu Errui couldn't save him even if he wanted to. He waved his arms and yelled in a hurry to scare the kite away, but the kite was entangled with the chicken and would not let go at all.
At this moment, the little wild boar, who had nothing to do but play with the children every day, suddenly rushed over from nowhere like the wind, and his movements were as fast as lightning.
The two families had been busy all day, and the tightly tied fence was like paper, and a big hole was punched out by it.
The low shed with branches scattered all over the place couldn't stop the little wild boar from moving forward.
At this time, Pork Belly turned into a heavily armored tank, and the wooden sticks in the way were easily knocked away by it.
Kites are not afraid of people, but they are keen on danger. Before the wild boar breaks through the fence, it abandons the poor chicken and starts to escape.
But no matter how fast the kite moves, it can't move faster than the young pork belly chasing the wind.
When it was just one step away from the low shed and flew back into the sky, it was bitten by the little wild boar.
The little wild boar seemed to be going crazy, shaking its head vigorously, and stopped moving after just a few hits.
Everything happened so fast...
From the moment he saw the kite in the sky until now, Jiang Zhi ran over and happened to see this scene.
Looking at the knocked down fence and the chicken and kite feathers flying all over the ground, I couldn’t help but hold my forehead: It’s so cruel!
I just don’t know, how should the lawsuit be settled if a once second-level protected animal kills a second-level protected animal, and a tank fights an air force?
Xu Errui was also shocked by the little wild boar's series of actions. When the kite was taken out by the little wild boar, he grabbed the bristles on its back and said, "Page, you can actually bite the kite?"
The little wild boar rolled his eyes!
