Chapter 81 Chapter 81 Explodes in Advance
Jiang Heng quickened his pace: "I know."
"Woof woof woof..." The Husky continued running.
The man and the dog were so fast that people picking vegetables in the fields didn't react at all: "Ah? Is that Xiao Heng? He's running so fast!"
"Yeah, the dogs can hardly catch up!"
When Jiang Heng arrived, he saw a half-grown goshawk with its feathers blown off, stumbling on the ground and making a fierce attacking posture.
The two dogs, Caramel and Pudding, also looked at them with their fur standing on end.
He also had to drive away the pigs and sheep that came over out of curiosity from time to time, and was so busy that he was sweating profusely.
As soon as Jiang Heng arrived, the two dogs visibly relaxed, but they didn't move out of the way. Instead, they stood in front of her, looking back at her from time to time, and letting out a series of "Woof woof woof!!!"
I don't know what you're talking about.
But judging by his movements and expression, he was clearly making an accusation.
Jiang Heng quickly patted the two of them soothingly: "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, it can't hurt us."
With their owner's comfort, Caramel and Pudding were no longer stressed, and their eyes looking at the goshawk were not as hostile.
The main thing is that they have been watching this family hunting near their territory. They have tried to hunt their chickens and ducks before, but the dogs naturally refused.
The puppies calmed down, and the goshawk, which had been on high alert, also calmed down a little. It flapped its wings and tried to stand up, but as soon as it moved, it let out a slightly wailing cry as if its body had been severely injured.
Jiang Heng had smelled the blood a long time ago. When the hawk tried to stand up, she could see without blocking the view that there was a trap stuck on its left leg!
The teeth of the trap were lodged in the flesh of its leg, and every movement caused excruciating pain.
Especially since this goshawk is not yet an adult.
Jiang Heng's face changed slightly. She was wondering why the goshawk suddenly landed here. She had driven out all the small animals in the contracted area. There was not much food here. She didn't expect it was because of this. The animals were injured, and their instinct would make them look for the most comfortable place to rest temporarily. However, they didn't expect to encounter the dog guarding here again.
The personal use of animal traps is strictly prohibited.
Being hit by a goshawk can't be caused by the relevant protection units, right?
Jiang Heng approached tentatively, and the goshawk became agitated again. It hopped back on one foot, and its feathers, which had just calmed down a little, exploded again. It tried to fly away, but it was already very tired. The wound on its leg had bled a lot, which was a drag on it. It flapped its wings twice, flew up a little, and then fell down again, which also involved the wound. It cried out in pain again: "Cry!"
Although it often hunted here and had seen this human many times, it still could not trust her at this time.
Sensing its resistance, Jiang Heng simply used his spiritual power to tie up the goshawk.
"Cry!" The goshawk screamed in excitement and panic, but this time its wings were tied up and it had no leverage. It fell to the ground as soon as it moved. Its left leg was pulled by a sharp weapon and it trembled with pain.
A green spiritual power brushed across the wound, and the comfort from the wound made its resistance less intense.
Fortunately, the mountain had not been developed at that time, and there were only surveillance cameras installed on the outer guardrail, so they could not be seen coming from this side.
Only then did Jiang Heng tentatively approach and reach out to touch her.
The hawk's wings were also bound by spiritual power, leaving only its head exposed, but when it touched Jiang Heng, it still pecked at her quickly.
Fortunately, she noticed it and used her spiritual power to block it in advance.
The hawk hit an iron plate with its pecks, and its head bounced back, and its originally sharp eyes became dazed.
Jiang Heng said hurriedly: "You used so much strength on your own, it has nothing to do with me."
Goshawk:?
Jiang Heng said patiently, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you. I helped you hunt when you were a kid~"
This half-grown goshawk must be one of the six in the family.
No matter which one, the success rate is very low when they first practice hunting.
They have a lot of prey here, but the same prey grows better than those in other places. In addition to having good meat quality, they are also stronger and more flexible. So when they first started hunting, the little goshawks failed many times, and she helped them one by one.
Of course, it was only once or twice, and I didn’t participate too much.
The hawk still stared at her vigilantly, but perhaps it understood, and this time it did not move.
Jiang Heng carefully held the trap, used his spiritual power to protect the goshawk's legs, and exerted force to open it. The trap itself was very large, and the force of the trap on the goshawk was even greater. This was definitely not for hunting small animals such as mice!
There were probably poachers in this area, but they were not in the area where she was active, so she didn't notice it.
"Cry!" The pain came, and the eagle's voice became sharper and sharper.
It makes my head hurt slightly.
But this time, it really didn't resist.
"Snap" the trap was broken by Jiang Heng.
Successfully detached from the hawk's left leg.
Then another stream of spiritual power came over, and the madly bleeding wound gradually stopped.
"Lie~~~" The goshawk cried softly, its voice much lower than before, as if it was exhausted, but also as if it was grateful.
When he looked at Jiang Heng again, his eyes were no longer as sharp as before.
As expected, these wild animals are very spiritual.
In particular, they often ate the mice and rabbits raised on the land contracted by her family.
Seeing that its attitude had softened, Jiang Heng felt relieved and checked its left leg again. As expected, the bones were injured and it could not be recovered by spiritual energy alone. Spiritual energy could only speed up the healing process and nourish the body, but not too much. The body of the goshawk could not withstand too much spiritual energy and needed a long time to recuperate.
During this period, the goshawk cannot hunt.
*
Jiang Heng didn't want to alert the relevant departments, but if he didn't take good care of it, what if this guy left with his injured leg and was hunted by other animals, or what if his parents couldn't find him and he starved to death?
At this moment, I can only search their relevant phone number online and call them: "Hello, I have an injured goshawk that needs help. The address is..."
When the person who answered the phone heard the goshawk, he immediately said, "Okay, we'll be there right away."
After hanging up the phone, she saw Goshawk getting ready to leave. She gathered a ball of spiritual water in her palm and handed it to him: "Want some?"
The goshawk hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't resist the temptation and went over to drink the water.
Caramel, pudding and Husky were all envious after seeing this.
The former is okay and can be controlled.
The Husky came over stealthily and tried to take a sip.
Jiang Heng glanced at it, and the Husky decisively lay down, exposing its white belly and acting coquettishly: "Oh, oh, oh..."
The next second, the goshawk, which was still drinking water seriously, moved and flapped its wings as if it was going to rush over and peck it.
"Awooo!" The Husky's voice broke in a second. He rolled on the grass and stood up, barking angrily at the goshawk: "Woof woof woof..."
The goshawk ignored it and continued drinking when the threat was gone.
Jiang Heng: ...
After drinking a lot of spiritual water, Goshawk's condition improved a lot, but his injured left leg still couldn't exert strength. He stood on one leg while drinking water, and leaned on Jiang Heng's wrist.
Birds have higher body temperatures and are warm because of their feathers.
The places where I was leaning on were sweating.
Jiang Heng grabbed another mouse and put it in front of it: "Eat it first. You know someone will come to rescue you later. Don't leave in a hurry."
"Lie~" the goshawk called softly and lowered its head to eat the mouse.
While it was eating, Jiang Heng also prepared a special meal for Caramel, Pudding and Husky, giving each dog a handful of spiritual water.
The dogs are very happy.
What made me happier was her praise.
When he heard the praise, his tail wagged more excitedly than when he drank the spiritual water.
The Husky even raised his head and imitated the wolf's howl: "Awoo~~~~"
There is still an echo on the top of the mountain.
That sounds quite like it.
As the goshawk ate, it also echoed: "Cry!!!"
This cry was much lighter than the previous ones, and one could hear a hint of the immaturity of an immature eagle.
The Husky retracted its bared fangs and roared fiercely at the goshawk.
"Okay, stop provoking me. You may not be able to win." Jiang Heng quickly rubbed its head.
None of the birds in her family had been taught any hunting skills, and they usually fought just for fun. It was easy for them to catch the chickens and ducks they were familiar with, but when facing a bird of prey like a goshawk, it was still uncertain who would win.
Pudding was the last one to drink water. He has always been the calmest person. After drinking, he rubbed Jiang Heng's hand.
Jiang Heng's eyes curved as she petted the spoiled puppy from head to tail: "If nothing happens, take a rest. It's safe here."
Pigs and sheep are so big that no birds will catch them.
Now that the chickens and ducks have grown in size and are basically free-range, they don't eat much of the food that Zhanhong usually puts in the nest. They are also much more ferocious than before, and birds generally won't come to hunt them.
"Woof!" the puppy responded loudly.
——
It was more than an hour later when the relevant departments arrived.
Fortunately, there are no watermelons these days, and what is sold are tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. Everyone is very skilled at it. Jiang Heng can make reservations remotely, and Jiang Peng and the others can handle it easily.
The people who came were also two young men. They drove here and then jogged all the way here.
Tired and out of breath.
When the dog brought them over, they were stunned to see the goshawk squatting there obediently, as well as the young man next to the hawk. One of them instinctively said, "It hasn't flown away yet?!"
Jiang Heng:?
Another person quickly explained, "The goshawk's wings are intact, and if it's still wild, it will definitely stay away from humans. We were all worried that it would have flown away by the time we got there, and we'd have to look for it then."
So they even brought their equipment.
Jiang Heng suddenly realized: "It's okay, I've been keeping it hanging with food."
The two of them looked at the dead rat not far from the hawk, and understood. They smiled and said, "Thank you very much. You saved us a lot of trouble."
The two people, one named Wu Xujiang and the other named Kou Ning, a man and a woman, greeted Jiang Heng and then approached carefully with a cage.
The hawk sensed the presence of a stranger and became visibly nervous, wanting to retreat.
Jiang Heng was already impatient and simply reached out and picked it up.
"Cry!" The goshawk was startled but did not resist.
Kou Ning and Wu Xujiang were so frightened that they almost cried out: "Don't—"
The next second, seeing that the hawk did not attack, the second word got stuck in his throat.
Then he watched helplessly as she brought the goshawk over and stuffed it directly into the cage.
There was a "click" sound of the lock closing.
Kou Ning, who was holding the cage, rubbed his eyes and looked at the already agitated goshawk inside: "Ah, this..."
Wu Xujiang said weakly, "...the goshawk's beak is very sharp. If it gets bitten by it, it might cause a large piece of flesh to fall off."
"I touched it just now when I was treating it. It's quite kind to people." Jiang Heng explained with a smile: "We've wasted a lot of time. Let's hurry up. Oh, and there's a trap here. It's the culprit that hurt it. Can you take a look? I suspect someone is poaching here."
The two of them immediately became serious.
Kou Ning carried the cage, and Wu Xujiang went over to inspect it, then put on gloves and took it away. "Thank you, we'll report this! This trap looks like it's for catching large beasts. It's incredible that this hawk could fly so far with it."
So heavy!
And the spring in this trap seems to be broken?
He looked at Jiang Heng in confusion.
Jiang Heng gave him an innocent smile: "Do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll go back first."
"It's okay, it's okay."
"Go ahead and do your work. We'll be going down the mountain soon."
The two of them quickly shook their heads and followed him down the mountain.
Jiang Heng happened to be taking the dog back with him.
*
At this time, the gate of the guardrail was very lively.
As the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays coincided, some villagers who lived nearby also came back one after another. They didn’t have the chance before, but now when they came back, in addition to spending time with their families, they also came to Jiang Heng to see the land she contracted.
This year, there are probably more people coming back than in previous years, and they all bring their partners and children, and possibly relatives and friends as well.
Jiang Heng took a quick look and found many of them unfamiliar.
But everyone knew her and greeted her proactively: "Xiao Heng is back!"
"Are you picking up trash? Hey, who dumped so much trash on the mountain?"
"Xiao Heng, what are you planning to plant this year?"
"Xiao Heng is getting prettier and prettier. Do you have a boyfriend?"
Jiang Heng: “…”
She had always thought that her social anxiety had been cured after the trials and tribulations of the world of immortal cultivation, but now it had recurred.
Why didn’t I know there were so many people in their village before?
Fortunately, two uniformed staff members, Kou Ning and Wu Xujiang, appeared soon and attracted everyone's attention, especially the goshawk in the cage that Kou Ning was holding. The aura of the wild animal was obviously different from that of domestic animals. As soon as it appeared, it caused exclamations. Everyone took out their mobile phones to take pictures so quickly that people couldn't react.
Wu Xujiang quickly stepped in front and said, "I'm sorry, this animal is injured. It's a wild animal. Don't get too close, or it might get stressed!"
"What kind of wild animal is this?"
"Looks like an eagle, doesn't it? I remember eagles are protected animals."
Everyone made way and asked eagerly.
Jiang Heng reminded him, "It's a national second-class protected animal. If something happens, you'll go to jail and be fined."
"Crash" the crowd dispersed faster.
Kou Ning and Wu Xujiang hurried back to the car, waved to Jiang Heng, and left quickly.
Jiang Heng also took the opportunity to enter the yard.
Jiang Peng heard the noise and glanced at her, chuckling, "How does it feel to be the center of attention?"
Jiang Heng: "...not very good."
Jiang Peng chuckled and continued to pack the remaining goods.
Without the watermelons, the number of orders decreased a lot, making it easier to handle. After sorting these out, she said, "By the way, a lot of people came to buy vegetables just now. I sold some and transferred the money to your phone."
"Yeah, okay." Jiang Heng nodded and took out his cell phone to take a look.
Quite a lot, more than 1,500 yuan sold.
As expected, the villagers came back, and she really didn't have to go out after setting up her stall.
Besides, it’s not a formal holiday now. The real big holiday will come on October 1st, when there will be more people in the village.
One more thing!
After this incident, the news in the village may no longer be kept secret.
The popularity of Jiang Heng's online store had already soared due to the hot sales of watermelons. The number of fans originally was 60,000, but after this wave of traffic, it has reached 70,000. Many fans are eager to try it out, and they are really talking big.
But because Jiang Heng never mentioned the specific address, no one felt comfortable speaking up.
Nowadays, the goshawk is a very popular wild animal. If something happens to it, coupled with the popularity of the online store, its location will be exposed in minutes.
Thinking of this, Jiang Heng sent messages to Ye Tong and Ling Weihang, saying that there was no need to hide, and they could release videos or pictures if they wanted. The reason he didn't let them release them before was because he wanted to wait. He couldn't wait until others got there first, which would be bad.
I just have to remind netizens that the farm is her private farm and will not be open to the public, so don't have too much expectations.
As soon as the news came out, it was cheered by both sides.
Ye Tong was still very surprised: "Did another blogger go there?"
Jiang Heng: "We rescued a goshawk, and many villagers came back and took photos and videos. I think they will post them online."
In addition, Jiang's store is currently quite popular online, so the news will definitely be a hit online.
It just so happens that it’s such a long National Day holiday, even though this place is remote, well, there are a lot of people visiting this uninhabited area!
Jiang Heng never dared to underestimate the Chinese people who loved to watch the fun all their lives.
Rather than watching the first wave of popularity fade away, it would be better to let Ye Tong and others take the lead.
The facts were indeed as Jiang Heng expected.
That afternoon, she saw the news that an injured goshawk was rescued in Jiangjia Village, Baoshan District, Yueshan City, Zhongxing Province. The video was of the goshawk being carried out of the contracted area in a cage. The person who took the video was not professional, and the camera was shaking, and Jiang Heng who was standing next to him was also captured in the video.
The number of likes and comments is quite high, one has over 5,000 and the other has over 1,000.
Clicking in, the top trending topic is: [Why does this address look familiar? And why bring up the hashtag #JiangJiaShop#? Are you trying to capitalize on the hype?]
Below this comment, a netizen with the ID Zhongxing Province replied: [(laughing and crying) Friend, is it possible that this was found at Boss Jiang's house? Look at the beautiful woman in the black coat on the far right of the video, that's Boss Jiang.]
【What? 】
[This is Boss Jiang?! Was the hawk rescued by Boss Jiang?]
[No, have you found Boss Jiang's location yet?]
[Didn't you know this before? That's the shipping address.]
[Wow! Boss Jiang is really good-looking! The locals don't lie, so the chicken, duck, and fish must really be that delicious (covering mouth with tears jpg)]
[Hahahaha, yes, Boss Jiang is really good-looking, and his chicken, duck, and fish are really delicious!]
[They are sold out now. Damn! I should have bought two more. I thought it was too much trouble to kill chickens and ducks myself, and now I can’t even eat them if I want to.]
[Me too, luckily there are eggs to make up for my regret]
[Let me tell you a joke. A local bought Mr. Jiang’s chicken and hatched it himself because it was so delicious.]
[Could it be the friend who planted green onions? ]
[That's right! It's really useful. Even when Mr. Jiang's green onions are out of stock, his green onions are never out of stock.]
【6666 I’ve failed at learning! 】
[I hope the goshawk is okay. How did it get injured? ]
[I don't know, it looks pretty good? ]
[Could it be that the bird got caught on the guardrail over there?]
Don't worry, Mr. Jiang's fences are all like this. They won't catch birds.
[Fuck, that's a big deal, using this kind of guardrail...]
How do you know so much? Everyone in Boss Jiang's village has gone online to post about it?
[No, a blogger posted a video of their trip there! Boss Jiang is so romantic! He planted a huge flowerbed around the perimeter. It's so beautiful...]
【……】
——
Some kind-hearted netizens have already posted keywords in the comment section.
Jiang Heng went over and found that it was indeed posted on the travel accounts of Ye Tong and Qiao Yu.
In fact, it was only a few days before the two of them left, but they were professionals and had probably already finished editing most of the footage here, so they got approval and released it immediately.
The initial filming was all done in the B&B.
The two of them put on nice makeup and dressed handsomely. They greeted each other with a smile in front of the camera: "Hello, hello, long time no see. The reason I've been delayed for so long is actually because--" The camera flipped to face the sunny green world outside the balcony.
In the distance, the mountains rise and fall like layers of ink paintings.
Beneath the pleasing green nearby are rows of small country houses.
Accompanied by just the right amount of exaggeration: "Ding ding ding! We've arrived at Boss Jiang's place!!!"
"It all started when we happened to be passing through Zhongxing Province a few days ago, and a friend told us that Boss Jiang's shipping address was here, so we had an idea and came here..."
The montage jumps to the afternoon of the previous day.
Driving the motorcycle at full speed.
Short videos can also send barrages, and barrages will appear naturally at this time:
【It’s you guys who are so proactive】
[I'm so envious, I want to go too! ]
[This place is just like the mountain city, with many mountains. However, the mountain city is developing very well now, while this place still looks very backward.]
Yes, the national highways are all in tatters.
The scenery on the road flashed by. They came to the small county town and did not go anywhere. They went straight to where Jiang Heng was setting up his stall. When the camera shot over there, it was just past five-thirty. There were a lot of people here at this time. There was a long queue in front of Jiang Heng's stall. She stood at the front, smiling and greeting customers to buy, and chatting with regular customers from time to time.
According to Jiang Heng's request, the guest coded his ID, but Jiang Heng did not.
This kind of thing is inevitable, so it’s better to be open and honest from the beginning.
"Business is really booming! I heard this is after the reservation screening this morning." Ye Tong said with a smile: "Honey, can you go and say hello?"
"You go ahead, they're all girls, it's easier to talk to them."
"Hey, I'm sorry to bother you. This is a bit abrupt..."
Then Jiang Heng was the first to notice them.
Ye Tong: "I have good news for you. Boss Jiang has agreed to our request for filming. He will take us back after we sell the things!"
Next is the scene of selling vegetables.
After selling the vegetables, I moved to the village.
I followed the pickup truck all the way in. The speed was not fast, so the surrounding scenes were clearly captured.
[Fuck, I'm starting to get scared]
[This place really feels like a desolate mountain.]
[Indeed, it is a bit remote. I originally thought that small county town was very remote, but I didn’t expect there would be an even more remote one, and it’s not that close. If Boss Jiang hadn’t been in front, I would have been a little worried about the blogger.]
[The road conditions here are so bad, it's obvious they never thought about tourism]
Oh my god, I have no hope for this place.
[I was so dizzy]
Ye Tong also said truthfully: "Honestly, taking this bumpy road, I'm a little regretful. I even wonder if I came to the wrong place. Boss Jiang, I've never heard how good the vegetables and fruits here are. I even started to suspect it was hype. I've obviously eaten the food in Jiang's shop, but you can imagine how bad the actual situation here is. I'm starting to doubt myself..."
But fortunately, these were quickly replaced by bright and clean Instagram-style B&Bs.
When editing, flip to highlight.
Many places in the middle are omitted, directly revealing the true appearance of the place where they will live next.
It suddenly changed from a gray place without even street lights to a modern homestay.
【???】
[What happened? Blogger, did you travel back in time?]
【This place is really nice! 】
[After seeing the previous part, I couldn't bear to watch any further. The conditions must have been very poor. I didn't expect such a reversal!]
As if anticipating the comments, Ye Tong said with a grin, "Surprise, right? We were surprised too! This B&B is beautiful. Of course, it's new and not very established, but the owner is very nice. He went shopping for a lot of things the next day. He has everything other B&Bs have. The bed is very comfortable, and here..."
She introduced them one by one, her tone full of praise.
A sumptuous dinner was presented again.
He praised the fish again and again, and confirmed: "The locals are definitely not exaggerating, it's really delicious!"
I'm a local, and I'm not exaggerating. The fish and shrimp are getting better and better. The owner must be a natural at raising fish. The longer she raises them, the better they taste.
[So Boss Jiang is a natural at growing vegetables. The vegetables she grows are much tastier than others.]
[Yes, they are all the same species, but the ones raised by the boss are different]
*
Time came to the next day.
In the video, the two people ate breakfast in high spirits and went out for a walk.
"The temperature in the mountains is still a little lower than outside. It's really comfortable..."
Accompanied by exclamations, the camera looks up and you can see many birds of all sizes flying, and their number increases along their route.
Until a few words appeared on the screen: [Continuous high energy reminder ahead, don’t blink]
Ahhhh!
【I watched it once and then rewatched it! So handsome! 】
【？ 】
【Can you guys spoil the whole story? 】
Fortunately, the editing was also very neat and there was no delay. In the camera, you can see several peregrine falcons flying over like bombers, quickly attacking the contracted area, catching their prey, and then flying away quickly. The speed was so fast that there was only a short time, so when editing, I deliberately replayed the slow version so that I could see it clearly.
【Ahhh! So cool!】
[Gone? It happened so fast! I didn’t even see it clearly.]
【Fortunately there is a slow version】
Wow!
Wait, there's more?
After the peregrine falcon, other birds came over, but they were not as impactful as the raptors. When everyone was relaxing, a family of goshawks flew over, two large and four small, and they were also here to hunt.
The comments, which had just calmed down a bit, started screaming again: [So many countries protect poultry?!]
[Ahhh, the goshawk is so handsome too! ]
[The one that Boss Jiang rescued should be among them, right? Damn, how did it get injured? It breaks my heart to think of the hawk soaring here, only to be forced to stay in a cage like this.]
[I can’t help it, so handsome, so handsome, no unnecessary movements]
It's like a buffet.
The goshawks are also very skilled at hunting, giving off a sense of being familiar customers.
We ate here before leaving. Before, we caught and ate the peregrine falcons.
[This means that there are abundant resources here. They must come here often to hunt. They are familiar with it and know that there are no bad people, so they come here.]
[And haven't you noticed that these birds of prey are much more majestic than you imagine? When that big goshawk flew over, my goodness, it was so huge! It felt so overwhelming!!!]
[I discovered it! I sent the screen recording to a bird lovers group, and some eagle lovers have already bought tickets (laughing and crying)]
[This initiative makes me envious and cry...]
