Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 171 Domesticated Peregrine Falcon?

Wang Manyin did not expect that the impact of this urea bag was far greater than imagined.

Like Liu Xiangyang, someone soon discovered that the top layer of nylon cloth was almost two feet long when removed.Two urea bags have more than four feet of cloth, just enough to make a single pair of trousers for an adult.

You know, during the Chinese New Year last year, the Shige Festival Commune only issued a five-foot cloth ticket to each member.If you want to make a cotton coat, you need almost all the family's cloth tickets.

And it’s not enough just to have a cloth ticket. Buying cloth also requires money.Even the cheapest white cloth in the supply and marketing cooperatives costs eighty-one feet.Therefore, many people save as much as they can, and fully develop the simple style.

The new three years, the old three years, and the stitching and mending for another three years.

Big holes cover small holes in clothes, patches pile upon patches.

There are several broken children in the family. Basically, the eldest wears the second child, and the second wears the third... If it is really impossible to wear, they can be cut and made into shoe uppers.

Now that they know that the fertilizer bags can be removed for a few feet of good fabrics that cost no money, the village cadres naturally have the advantage of being close to the water, and they all take it for themselves.

I heard that the captain of a certain production team had a fight with the accountant because of this matter.

For a while, this thing turned out to be a status symbol.Not only are many village cadres wearing them, but even many prominent figures in the Shige Festival have their eyes on urea bags.

Not to mention, with some black paint, the trousers are quite cool.

Lanhua also said two days ago that recently, the tailor sales department has been rushing to make this kind of nylon pants every day.

For this reason, some people made up a jingle:
Big cadres, small cadres, one urea pants per person.

Some are black, some are blue, but there are no members!
The 'XX product' written in the front is written as 'urea' in the back.

Nitrogen content is seen on the left and 60.00% V is marked on the right.

Wang Manyin heard that it was even more exaggerated. On the black market, a urea nylon bag can be sold for a dollar...

But these things have nothing to do with me, and Wang Manyin didn't pay much attention to them.At this moment, he was standing in the space, staring at the peregrine falcon in the wicker cage.

When this guy was rescued, he looked completely dying.As a result, it was placed in the space and fed for more than ten days, and the wound recovered completely.

Now the peregrine falcon's brown body has become shiny and shiny, his eyes are extremely sharp, and his every move has the aura of the overlord in the sky.

Seeing the appearance of humans, this guy immediately flapped his wings and begged for food, showing no sign of recognition.

Wang Manyin did not continue to feed it, but planned to release it back into the forest today.

This guy should belong to the sky... If he continues to be locked up, he will probably be no different from the group of silly pheasants in the pit next to him. He doesn't know how to be afraid of people at all.

After making up his mind, he appeared in a cliff ditch with a wicker cage, untied the rope, and opened the cage door completely.

Looking at the unfamiliar environment in front of him, Peregrine Falcon seemed to have a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Immediately, the guy poked his head out of it.

After tentatively walking a few steps, the peregrine falcon quickly flapped its wings, ran a certain distance ahead, and then flew up close to the cliff ditch.

Then, suddenly jumped into the air.

After circling around the nearby mountain ridge for a few weeks, the taupe figure disappeared.

"chirp...chirp..."

Far away, only a few crisp tweets remained.

Wang Manyin didn't expect this guy to be so heartless, he was raised for more than ten days anyway, and there was no farewell ceremony when he left.

He packed up the wicker cage, and continued to search for scorpions in the cliff ditch with Rhubarb.As usual, the big scorpions are put into the earthen jar, and the small scorpions are put into the space for rearing.

Now Wang Manyin really regards catching scorpions as an activity to pass the time.I always feel uncomfortable if I don’t earn three or five yuan a day.

The two are in charge of more than ten acres of paddy fields, plus the scattered sorghum and alfalfa fields in Yagou, the land area is not small.

However, apart from irrigation and weeding, there is actually no farm work to do.

Coupled with the fact that there is no one to supervise them, they actually live quite leisurely.

Liu Xiangyang usually stays in the grass shed and reads, while Wang Manyin goes into the cliff ditch to catch scorpions, and the two don't interfere with each other.

When the weather got hot, Wang Manyin returned to the thatched shed to enjoy the shade.

Seeing his return, Liu Xiangyang closed the manuscript, and said in admiration, "Brother Wang, you are not too hot, how many scorpions did you catch?"

"Not many, just seven or eight." Wang Manyin raised the clay pot in his hand.

"Brother Wang, it's just in time for you to come back. I have something to discuss...Yesterday afternoon, Party Secretary Wang quietly told me that the recruitment quota for this year's Shige Festival Commune has come down, specifically for educated youths. Our village has a quota for going to Huangyuan To work as a coal miner in the area, you need to go down the mine. Wang Zhishu asked me if I want to do... If I go, I will report my name. I am a little undecided now, and I want to ask what do you think?"

After more than half a year of contact, Liu Xiangyang now trusts Wang Manyin very much, and treats him like an older brother in his heart.

So when he was indecisive about something, he immediately went to the other party's staff.

And to be honest, it was also related to Brother Wang that he got this opportunity.If it wasn't for his enlightenment at the beginning, I must have behaved like everyone else, and how could I be recommended by the village.

For this situation, Wang Manyin was not very surprised.

He knew very well that most of the educated youths would leave sooner or later.Only a very small number of people ended up staying on this yellow land due to various reasons.

Even so, they were all assigned jobs.

In fact, since the beginning of spring, a considerable number of educated youths in Shige Festival Commune have left.Serving as a soldier, recruiting workers, retiring from illness... There are all kinds of methods.

Wang Manyin heard that there was an educated youth in Shigejie Village who did it very simply. He left all his belongings at the educated youth spot, and then left without saying goodbye.Because the educated youths like to wander around, there was no abnormality in the village at first.

It wasn't until they didn't see anyone for a month that the village cadres hurriedly reported to the commune and sent people to look around.

It was only later that I found out that he had already joined the army through his connections.Some time ago, the family transferred the household registration and food relations.

Now, some of the problems left by the parents have not been resolved, and the rest are irrelevant.

Liu Xiangyang belongs to the former category, so this opportunity is quite rare for him.

Wang Manyin pondered for a while before saying: "It is of course a good thing to be able to leave the countryside. To work as a worker in a coal mine, at least it will be no problem to fill your stomach."

Guarding the space, Wang Manyin is confident to change the appearance of Guanzi Village little by little, so that the villagers will no longer be hungry.However, he did not persuade Liu Xiangyang to stay, but sincerely analyzed the pros and cons for the other party.

After a pause, Wang Manyin said again: "But you have to think clearly, working in the mine is not as easy as you imagined, and the danger is very high. If you go, you'd better stay and work in the mine..."

In this day and age, coal miners were well paid indeed.

However, the working conditions in the mine are unimaginable. It is damp and cold in the mine several hundred meters deep. The miners wear cotton clothes all year round, and once they go down the mine, they have to stay inside for one shift before they can get up.

More importantly, this is accompanied by great danger to life.Once something goes wrong, the possibility of survival is very small.Therefore, the workers who live in the mining area have an unwritten rule, that is, go home as soon as possible after get off work to report that they are safe, and then do other things.

In fact, not only in this era, even decades later, we often see reports of mine disasters.

If it were Wang Manyin, he would rather follow Dong Gang toss around second-hand bicycles than go to such a dangerous place.

It's just that this is Liu Xiangyang's personal choice, he can only analyze the pros and cons, and the other party has to make his own decision.

Hearing this, Liu Xiangyang nodded: "The recruitment conditions are very clear, that is, workers who have to go down to dig coal. It was because of this situation that I didn't make up my mind... and I was afraid of missing this opportunity. meet."

He desperately wanted to leave the countryside, but he didn't want to risk his life, so he was worried about gains and losses.

"There will definitely be opportunities in the future, it depends on whether you can seize them." Wang Manyin replied in a positive tone.

"Brother Wang, do you have any news?"

Liu Xiangyang suddenly became excited.

"I don't have any news... As I said before, there are so many educated youths, and there are tens of thousands of families behind them. This is a great force. In fact, you just need to wait patiently here. It mainly depends on your parents..."

Wang Manyin didn't finish his sentence, I believe Liu Xiangyang will understand.Sometimes it's not that hard to want to leave.

It's like an inspirational house buying story he saw in later generations: a certain person started work, with a monthly salary of [-], worked hard every day at work, and continued to learn and enrich himself after get off work.

Finally, two years later, he personally saved 2 yuan, his parents sponsored 200 million, and successfully bought his first house.

Of course, there is a question of time, and it depends on whether Liu Xiangyang is willing to wait.

"Then I'll think about it when I go back..." After listening to the analysis, Liu Xiangyang was even more confused.

"Well, you should think about it carefully. Another thing is to consider your own family situation. I guess this job recruitment will look at the files." Afraid that Liu Xiangyang would be disappointed if he could not become a coal miner, Wang Manyin gave him a vaccination in advance.

Wang Mandun is not in charge of recruiting workers, he is only responsible for recommending them, and the specific situation depends on the situation in the commune.

After chatting with Liu Xiangyang for a while, Wang Manyin saw that it was about the same time, and then walked home with Rhubarb.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I suddenly heard a cry.

He raised his head subconsciously, but saw gray-brown shadows falling rapidly in the sky. It was the peregrine falcon that was released in the morning.

It stopped firmly on the earth cliff a few meters away, tilted its head and stared at Wang Manyin.

After all, this guy still has some conscience.

Wang Manyin, who was originally a little depressed, felt much better, waved his hand to say hello, and walked away.

Unexpectedly, the peregrine falcon flew up to follow, and kept circling in the air.

Fortunately, there are no other people around now, otherwise, seeing this scene, it's time to shout.

When Wang Manyin got home and picked up the key to open the door, this guy also flew into the cave.Then it landed on the kang table two or three meters away, making a loud chirp.

Seeing the big bird so close at hand, Wang Manyin almost lost his mind.

This guy is really not afraid of himself.

People have to suffer to play with peregrine falcons, and they have been domesticated successfully after feeding them for a few days without doing anything?

What does that sound mean?Want to ask for food, or plan to send it back to space by yourself.

Thinking of this, Wang Manyin disappeared in a flash.When it reappears, retrieve the wicker cage.

It really made him guess... As soon as the cage was put back on the ground, the peregrine falcon couldn't wait to fall down, and then swaggered into it.

Then, continue to shout.

Wang Manyin was completely speechless: Looking at the situation in front of him, this guy is planning to rely on him.

Choose to lie flat and don't want to work hard.

Animals are far more sensitive to changes in the natural environment than humans.This guy should have sensed the specialness of the space, so he made such a move.

Just like Rhubarb and two cats, every time they enter the space, they seem a little excited.

That being the case, he simply returned to the space with the cage in hand.This time I didn't lock the cage door again... The main thing is whether it is locked or not.

After dealing with a wave of customers and feeding his own fat pig and a group of chickens, Wang Manyin brought rhubarb and cats into the space.

As soon as he appeared inside, Da Huang suddenly arched his body and let out a low warning sound.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Manyin stared wide-eyed at the place where he usually eats.

I am Nima!
I saw a lot of pheasant feathers scattered scattered on the yellow ground next to me, as well as large patches of blood.Not far away, he also saw the remains of an unfinished skeleton.

At this time, there was another cry from above.

Under Wang Manyin's gaze, the peregrine falcon fluttered from the big rock in the scorpion pond and flew straight to the pit where the pheasants were raised not far away.

Giggle...

In the next second, countless frightened pheasant sounds came from the pit.

Soon, this guy fluttered his wings and flew up again, and there was already a pheasant dripping with blood under his two sharp claws.

When it flew over Wang Manyin's head, the peregrine falcon let go of its claws and dropped its prey to the ground.

See what this means, like a reward for him.

Good guy, Wang Manyin wants to cry but has no tears.

He finally realized what a wrong decision it was to bring the peregrine into the space again.

Unlike dogs and cats, peregrine falcons are natural predators and generally do not eat cooked food.

If you let this thing go on, at most half a month or so, the pheasant and rabbit that I have worked so hard to raise for half a year will be eaten up.

It is even more impossible to feed outside, and there is no way to explain it to others.A lot of people can't get enough to eat these days, it's so weird to feed a peregrine falcon by yourself.

At present, we can only put this guy in the cage again, so as not to let him continue to do evil in the space.

Thinking of this, Wang Manyin immediately raised the cage and waved at this guy: "Come down!"

The peregrine falcon stopped on a rock not far away and responded with a call.

This guy, unlike Rhubarb, doesn't understand human language at all.Wang Manyin yelled more than ten times in succession, but he didn't get it off.

Helpless, had to change another way.

After he put the wicker cage on the ground, he caught more than a dozen loaches and threw them inside.

The peregrine falcon had doubts in its eyes again, and then it really flapped its wings and landed, swaggering into the cage.

Not daring to delay for a moment, Wang Manyin hastily closed the cage door and tied it again with a rope.

After finishing his work, he breathed a sigh of relief and took the rhubarb and the cat to eat.

The pecked pheasant can be brought out of space later, as rhubarb's freshly killed prey.

Anyway, rhubarb is used to taking the blame, and now no one will doubt its strength.
