Chapter 51:
After leaving the woman's place, Lin Ling went home directly. As soon as he entered the city wall, the hills where he could see were covered with saplings and weeds, lush and full of vitality.
The hard work these days has not been in vain. The saplings planted on the mountain have basically survived. With time, they will eventually grow into towering trees.
Lin Ling planted all the tree roots and grass roots dug out in late summer on the bare hillside, and then poured some water from Dahei after planting, and it will survive in a few days.
Mo Xia wiped the sweat from his brow, "There are still a few hills where no trees have been planted, let's go to that man's site and dig a few truckloads of weeds and roots back to plant."
"I don't have any reason to go recently." Standing on a high place, Lin Ling looked at the hillsides and land within the fence. Before she knew it, she had planted more than a dozen hillsides, and only a few hillsides were left unfinished. , but according to the current speed, the remaining few hillsides can all be planted.
Xia Mo whispered, "Let's go secretly."
"We'll talk about it later." Lin Ling is now curious about the place the woman mentioned. Are there really many green plants? If there is, she wants to take a look and add a few more species to this land by the way.
If not, she would transplant some bamboos that are growing well behind the house and go to those hillsides. Bamboos have tenacious vitality and grow fast, and they can grow in a few months, which is very suitable for transplanting.
But before going there, Lin Ling wanted to let the mynah go to explore the way.
Thinking of the starling, Lin Ling realized that he hadn't seen the starling all day today: "Have you seen that bird?"
Little Green shook her head: It must have been hiding because it was afraid that I would beat it.
Brother Chou barked, saying that he hadn't seen him since he got up this morning.
At the end of Xia, he realized that he hadn't seen mynah all this time, "Could it run away?"
Little Green shook the leaves: Did it run away because it didn't want to do its homework? If you run away, you are not allowed to come back!
The starling who was thought to have run away was taking a bath in the pond, and it sneezed: "Which son of a **** is speaking ill of the uncle behind his back?"
Dahei gulped and sprayed water all over mynah: You grab my rabbit meat and eat it! You are not allowed to take a bath here!
The starling shook his wings and shook off the water from his head, "Didn't you eat another piece later?"
Dahei: That was given to me by my elder brother.
"Do you recognize that little dwarf as your big brother? You might as well recognize me as your big brother." Taking advantage of Xiaolu's absence, the starling started to play tricks: "The little dwarf always eats delicious food secretly, and never gives it to you. In the future, when I find good things, I will share them with you."
Dahei believes it is true: What delicious food did the elder brother steal?
Mynah got excited and tried to make things up: "It ate rabbit meat and potato chips."
The ignorant Dahei asked: What are potato chips?
"Potato chips are made from fried potatoes. They are delicious." Mynah used to eat a few chips when he was with the homeless.
Dahei thought angrily: Why didn't the big brother give it a share? In the future, it will not accompany the big brother to play rapids.
The starling saw that Dahei had been fooled, and continued to say: "Does your elder brother always beat you? If you recognize me as your elder brother, I promise I won't beat you, and I will give you some good things if I find them."
Dahei asked greedily: What do you have to eat? I want to eat meat.
Mynah said, "I'll go out and find worms and give you one, and I can give you a few seeds if I find them."
Dahei was stunned: Bug?
The starling opened his mouth and spit out the undigested worms for Dahei to see: "Eat it, you will be my little brother after eating it."
Dahei was so frightened by a colorful bug spit out by mynah that he got goosebumps all over his body, turned around and hid in the water: it's scary! help!
Hearing Dahei's cry for help, Xiaolu and Brother Chou rushed over, and when they reached the pond, they saw mynah running after Dahei with a worm in his mouth: "Don't run away, I'll feed you..."
Xiaolu rushed up and pressed mynah into the water and beat him up: Who told you to bully my little brother! Only I can bully my little brother! You are not allowed to bully it!
Although mynah likes to take a bath, his water quality is not good, and he was beaten helplessly in the water: "Gudugudu... help me... I'm going to kill the bird..."
Lin Ling stopped Xiaolu from beating the starling, "Xiaolu, come up, don't beat him to death."
Xiaolu kicked the starling's chicken again before going ashore. The starling, who choked on several saliva, climbed ashore in a mess and collapsed on the ground, "Help me..."
Lin Ling was condescending, looking at the starling who had become a drowned bird: "Is he dead?"
"I'm not dead." The starling hugged Lin Ling's leg humbly: "Xiaolu chased me and beat me. If I hadn't been good at swimming, I would have been beaten to death. You must make the decision for me!"
"Who told you to bully me?" Lin Ling put her foot on the water pump, and looked down at mynah: "I have a task for you."
Starling tilted his head: "What task?"
Lin Ling: "Go to a place and see if there is a water source there."
Starling stared at Lin Ling with a pair of small eyes: "Is there any benefit?"
Lin Ling said, "I'll give you an extra piece of meat tonight."
The starling felt a little too little: "I want five yuan."
Lin Ling snorted: "Five yuan?"
"Four dollars?" Looking at Lin Ling's expression, the starling asked uncertainly, "Then three dollars?"
"Are you qualified to bargain with me?" Lin Ling snorted, lifted the starling off her lap, and called Shang Xia Mo to turn around and leave.
The poor starling rolled on the ground, and then flapped its wings to catch up with Lin Ling: "Beauty, I was wrong, one piece is fine."
Lin Ling looked sideways at Brother Starling and said, "Stick out your tongue."
The starling realized that he had yelled something he shouldn't have yelled, so he quickly covered his mouth, but he had just taken a bath, and his whole body was wet. After covering his mouth with his wings, he couldn't maintain the flight mode, and fell directly to the ground with a slap, which hurt him so much Awow.
Xiaolu burst into laughter: It deserves it!
Lin Ling pursed her lips and laughed, and lifted the starling up: "Who told you not to have a long memory."
The mynah who was being carried whimpered, "Sister, Boss, I was wrong..."
"Boss?" Lin Ling laughed, did not refuse the title, turned around and put the water-soaked mynah on the bench, found a piece of padded coat that was cut off yesterday and was thrown away, and wiped mynah's feathers.
Suddenly being treated tenderly, mynah was stunned, how could a beauty be so gentle? It's so comfortable to wipe.
The starling was happy for a second, when Lin Ling said, "You really look like a bald chicken."
The starling was also ashamed. He shook his wings and tried to make the feathers fluffy: "I'm not."
"You are a good bird, just like other ducks, swimming in the water. You are really sick, and you are not afraid of being swallowed by Dahei." Seeing that the water was almost rubbed, Lin Ling withdrew her hand.
The starling who was rubbed comfortably took two steps forward and rubbed the back of Lin Ling's hand: "It's so comfortable, let's rub it for a while."
Lin Ling threw the padded coat aside, and said a word indifferently: "Get lost."
The starling sighed, rolled around on the bench, and then said in a flattering tone, "I'm done."
Lin Ling: "..."
Xia Mo stared at the starling suspiciously, why did he suddenly become so obedient? A strong sense of crisis surged in his heart.
Not only Xia Mo thinks so, but Xiaolu also thinks so. It wraps around Lin Ling's wrist and says dissatisfied: Why are you treating it so well?
"Don't make trouble." Lin Ling smiled at the starling, "You go check that place tomorrow."
Starling was 'moved' by Lin Ling's gentleness, so he went to the direction Lin Ling pointed out early the next morning.
Go in the morning and return in the evening.
The starling happily flew into the yard and landed on the wall: "Boss...I found that place. There is really water there and there are many trees, unlike here where there is nothing."
Lin Ling asked, "How big is it?"
The starling said, "It's bigger than yours."
The place surrounded by the wall is nearly 10,000 acres wide, and that forest is bigger than this? Lin Ling thought for a while and asked, "Apart from water and trees, did you really see no one?"
"I didn't see anyone." The starling wandered around the forest for a few times, but didn't see a single person: "There are birds."
Lin Ling froze for a moment, is there a bird? What kind of fairy place has water, trees and animal life? "What bird?"
"A group of stinky sparrows." The starling didn't say that his cheap mouth offended the sparrows, and was chased and pecked by the sparrows.
There is a good place with water and trees, how can there be no one? Lin Ling couldn't figure it out: "Is there really no one?"
"No one." Mynah shook his wings: "If you don't believe me, you can go and have a look."
Xia Mo heard the words and asked Lin Ling, "Are you going?"
"Of course I'm going." Although the place was weird, Lin Ling wanted to take the risk to take a look. If it could feed birds, it should also be able to feed pheasants and hares, right? If you're lucky, you might be able to catch a few rabbits and come back to give birth. "I'll go and have a look tomorrow."
"I'll go with you." Xia Mo said.
"That place is weird." Lin Ling asked Xia Mo softly, "Aren't you afraid?"
Xia Mo shook her head and said she was not afraid, "I can help you."
Lin Ling thought that Xia Mo's soil ability could dig holes and set up traps, which would indeed be helpful, so she nodded: "Okay."
"It should take two or three days to lie down and go out. I'll cook some more potatoes." Lin Ling went to the field to dig some potatoes, washed them and boiled them, let them cool down and put them in a backpack.
The next day, except for Dahei who stayed at the pond, everyone went out together.
The starling led the way, and Lin Ling followed the starling on a tricycle. After walking for eight hours, they finally reached a black river dozens of meters wide before dark.
The starling pointed to the woods on the other side of the river: "Here we are."
Lin Ling looked at the other side of the river, and there was indeed a forest. There were some sparse trees growing near the river, and the trees grew more and more as they went in, looking very lush.
"It's really strange." Lin Ling couldn't figure out why there was only a river across, why the grass and trees on the other side of the river were lush, but the weeds on this side were withered and desolate.
Lin Ling asked Brother Chou: "Brother Chou, can you hear the movement from the other side?"
Brother Chou's sense of hearing is better than that of humans. He lay down on the ground and listened carefully, and heard the sound of birds singing and leaves shaking.
Lin Ling pursed her lips: "No one's voice?"
Brother Ugly shook his head.
Starling jumped on Lin Ling's shoulder, "Boss, I told you that there is no one, and you still don't believe me?"
Xiaolu climbed onto Lin Ling's shoulder and pushed the starling down: "Go away."
Xia Mo stared at the dark river and asked Lin Ling, "Are we going to cross now?"
Lin Ling glanced at the gradually darkening sky, "Find a place to settle down first, and go there after dawn tomorrow."
