[Last night's chapter was blocked for unknown reasons. I guess it will take some time for it to come out. ]
Seeing the thing in front of them, the four of them were shocked. Lin Yue was the first to put down his things and took out his shotgun to aim.
Lin Heng also took out his compound bow to guard against this big guy.
Seeing Lin Heng and the others, the creature seemed to be startled, and suddenly fell down, then slowly retreated, and soon climbed over the ridge.
Lin Yue wanted to chase after him, but Lin Heng held him back: "Forget it, big brother. You can't catch up."
"If it wasn't too far away just now, I really wanted to shoot it." Lin Yue said helplessly.
"I didn't expect there would be leopards in this place. Fortunately, we have guns." Li Shiwei said in shock.
"Damn, this is the first time I see a leopard. It's so powerful." Li Shilei was also shocked.
Lin Heng was somewhat helpless: "I have seen this guy three times, I can't be wrong, it's this guy."
You can see that it is very leisurely and didn't notice them at first, but that's normal as this guy doesn't have any natural enemies in this mountain.
It's just like a Siberian tiger finding a place in the Northeast forest to lie down and sleep, without any fear at all.
"If we catch this, we can sell it for a lot of money." Lin Yue said with a smile.
"Yes, but this guy is harder to fight than a tiger. He is too smart." Lin Heng shook his head.
"Yeah." Lin Yue also nodded, put his things on his back and continued walking back.
We didn't have such good luck on the way back. The only living things we encountered were two squirrels.
This made everyone quite helpless. They thought they could hunt a bigger prey this time, but they got nothing.
"Actually, it's not impossible to catch it. We just need to wait in Sanchagou for two days. There are quite a lot of prey there." Lin Heng smiled, but unfortunately, he didn't have time to waste there as he was too busy recently.
"It's okay, let's go hunting together this winter." Lin Yue said with a smile.
"I will be with you then. I will be envious every time I see you guys hunting big prey. It would be nice if I can just watch it." Li Shiwei said loudly.
Lin Heng nodded. He didn’t know if he would have time this winter, but this was indeed the last chance to hunt.
As they were talking, they had already arrived behind the Red Maple Mountain. It was only a little after three in the afternoon. The sun was shining through a layer of thin clouds in the sky, making everyone feel so hot that they wanted to take off their clothes.
The reason why it takes less time to come back is very simple, because most of the road is downhill, and the altitude generally increases as you go up the mountain.
After taking a rest, everyone returned to the village. The villagers were a little confused to see that they had brought back some strange-shaped trees.
When he learned that it took three days to get it back, he was even more shocked and said that he could not understand the thought process of a rich man like Lin Heng.
As everyone was discussing, Tian Dongfu came down from above. He smiled and said, "Lin Heng, you really put a lot of effort into making the bonsai."
"I'm trying to make it and sell it." Lin Heng said with a smile. He was afraid that the old man would be shameless enough to ask for his bonsai, so he said this hastily.
"You kid, I don't want yours." Tian Dongfu was a smart man, so he naturally heard it and said directly that it was because he was close to Lin Heng and he was joking.
"I won't give it to you even if you ask me for it. It's really a waste of time." Lin Heng grinned.
Tian Dongfu also has several bonsai pots of his own making in his yard. Bonsai is one of the old man’s hobbies.
After hearing this, the villagers finally understood Lin Heng's vision and thought it was no wonder that he could make money.
Lin Heng didn't say much to them and quickly led them back to the house.
As soon as they reached the door of the house, Xiaoxia rushed over and hugged him: "Dad, you sneaked out again, I missed you so much."
"Dad went to the mountains to hunt pheasants." Lin Heng picked her up and said.
Xiaoxia was a clean baby, very fair and clean. When she got into Lin Heng's arms, she kissed him several times, and pointed at the tree behind him and said cutely, "I know this. Dad, you dug a persimmon tree, right?"
Lin Heng showed a look of shock: "My dear, you know all this."
"Of course I know it, I know the bark." Xiaoxia said, tilting her head.
"That's great." Lin Heng pinched her chubby face.
"Of course, I'm very powerful." Xiaoxia boasted and pinched Lin Heng's face in a mischievous way.
"Oh, it would be great if I had a daughter." Lin Yue cried with envy watching from the side.
He gave birth to three sons in a row but not a daughter. Seeing Xiaoxia, such a well-behaved baby, acting cute and coquettish in Lin Heng's arms, he shook his head with envy.
Li Shiwei smiled and said, "She has to be as smart and well-behaved as Xiaoxia. Those two at home are really annoying to me."
He has two daughters and a son, but they are all very naughty.
"Yes, a good child like Xiaoxia is hard to come by." Li Shilei also sighed. He has a son and a daughter, and they are also a worry to him.
"Hahaha, then you can be envious." Lin Heng carried Xiaoxia back.
Xiulan heard his voice coming out, and her two sons were beside her, calling out to him affectionately, "Dad, Dad!"
"I'll hold you guys later." Lin Heng said as he walked into the house first.
Lin Heng put his things down, took out a bunch of peach blossoms he had just picked from the back of Hongfeng Mountain from his backpack and handed them to Xiulan: "Wife, this is for you."
He originally wanted to say some sweet words to tease Xiulan, but he didn't say it because he was afraid that she would feel embarrassed when there were so many people around.
"Come in quickly, I'll pour you some water." Xiulan took the flowers and said to everyone.
Lin Yue quickly said, "Let's go to my house and have dinner at my house tonight. You and your parents can come. We have eaten at your house many times."
"Then drink some water first." Lin Heng said.
"Then I'll go back first and let your sister-in-law cook." Lin Yue nodded.
Without giving Lin Heng a chance to refuse, he left.
Lin Heng brought Li Shiwei and Li Shilei into the house. Xiulan poured them tea and brought hot water to Lin Heng for him to wash his face.
Lin Heng washed his face and showed off the golden rooster and pheasant to Xiulan, saying, "We had a good harvest this time in the mountains. We got three golden balls, two pyracantha trees, and a pine tree. We also shot a golden rooster and a pheasant."
"Dad is the best!" Xiaoxia clapped her hands and jumped up.
“The best!”
“The best!”
Lu Ming Du Heng also jumped and wanted to come over to get the golden rooster and pheasant.
Xiulan quickly took it and said with a smile: "It's great, let's stew it and eat it some other day."
She actually wanted to get closer to Lin Heng and missed him for no reason, but she felt embarrassed in front of outsiders.
"I'll go plant the tree first." Lin Heng said again. He was afraid that if he transplanted it too late, the precious tree would die.
He immediately called Li Shiwei and Li Shilei to take the trees to the backyard.
Then he took out six ceramic flower pots of different sizes from the storage room, some round and some square.
"There's soil there. Shilei, go shovel it for me." Lin Heng opened the back door and pointed to a pile of soil he had piled up on the back mountain.
That was the nutrient soil he mixed using various materials, ensuring it was loose, breathable and nutritious.
"Okay." Li Shilei nodded and took the shovel and dung basket to get the soil.
Lin Heng took out a series of tools including a small hand saw, aluminum wire, pruning shears, etc., and asked Li Shiwei to help him plant trees.
He dug up more than just these six trees on the mountain, but the others were all stumps from the mountain and had been severely pruned. These six were the best ones and had hardly been moved, and their root systems were all in good condition.
Lin Heng first arranged them into shapes to see which flowerpot was suitable. After deciding, he trimmed the roots, put some soil into the pot, planted the tree upwards, and fixed it in the pot with wire.
After finally covering the tree with soil, we began to trim and pull the tree, and immediately a sense of beauty emerged.
Soon six trees were planted. Although they had different shapes, some were shaped near water, some were shaped like wind, and some were shaped like dry trees, they were all different but one could feel a sense of beauty at a glance, as if a certain artistic conception was condensed in them.
"Brother, you must have practiced for a long time to reach this level?" Li Shilei asked in surprise.
"Yeah, I didn't think it looked that good at first, but it instantly looks different after this." Li Shiwei also nodded repeatedly.
"I learned it from books, and also watched other people do it. I found it very interesting." Lin Heng said with a smile.
His skills were not very good in his previous life, but now his memory is almost perfect. It seems that he has mastered what he learned before and has reached a certain level.
"That's great. If I come across good materials in the future, I will definitely get them for you." Li Shiwei said with a thumbs up.
Xiulan standing next to her also showed admiration and worship, and felt a little proud that her husband was really amazing for trimming the tree so beautifully.
The children didn’t quite understand, but they cheered and praised Lin Heng.
Lin Heng looked around the backyard, selected five locations, dug a five-centimeter-deep hole, placed the golden marble and pyracantha bonsai in them, and then watered them thoroughly.
The remaining pine bonsai was placed in the back mountain as there was no room for it in the yard.
These trees have sufficient roots, so he is not worried that they will die. He just needs to temporarily cover them with film to prevent water loss.
In addition to these fine trees, the other eight down-the-mountain trees are buried against the back wall and covered with film to retain water.
After finishing, Li Shiwei and Li Shilei went to Lin Yue first. Lin Wei had already come to call them.
Lin Heng took Xiulan's delicate hand and asked with a smile, "Is it okay?"
"My husband is very capable." Xiulan nodded and praised, then added, "I have prepared a bath for you, go take a bath and change your clothes first."
As she said that, she took Lin Heng into the house and found him a set of clothes.
Lin Heng quickly finished his bath in the room and came out. Xiulan looked at him and said, "Come over to eat. Big brother has called you twice."
"Okay." Lin Heng nodded, locked the door and walked over with the child in his arms.
They walked into their eldest brother's house and found that their parents were already there, but they were almost there.
"Son, I heard that you encountered a leopard!" Father Lin asked with a smile.
…
Lin Heng chatted with his parents for a while and said that he would let them see his bonsai later.
After a while, the meal was ready at my eldest brother's house. There was a large table of dishes, and the group of people had dinner happily.
After dinner, Lin Heng made some arrangements with Li Shiwei and Li Shilei, and went home to rest early.
After coaxing the children to sleep, Lin Heng lay down on the bed. Xiulan leaned over and hugged him. She immediately felt safe and secure. She couldn't sleep well without him by her side.
Lin Heng looked at his wife, hugged her tightly, and turned off the lights. The two of them whispered something and did some other things that needed to be done.
…
…
The next morning, after breakfast, Lin Heng took Li Shilei to the pig farm.
Li Shiwei had breakfast and rode his bicycle back to town.
"Hello, Boss Lin."
Seeing Lin Heng coming, Zhang Feng hurried out to greet him.
Seeing Zhang Feng getting up early in the morning to get firewood, Lin Heng nodded with satisfaction: "Good morning, I brought Li Shilei with me. You two will be partners this year. Help me raise pigs here."
"I understand, Brother Lin." Zhang Feng nodded and greeted Li Shilei again.
After the two got to know each other, Lin Heng took them into the pig farm.
This place has been built now and all the necessary things are available. We are just waiting for the piglets to arrive.
Lin Heng repeated what he had said before, and then took out the contract for them to sign.
He treats everyone equally, regardless of whether they are relatives or not.
"You all understand, don't you?"
Now that everything has been arranged, Lin Heng said with a smile.
"I understand." The two nodded.
"Okay, I'll leave first. If you have any problems, come to my house and find me." Lin Heng said, and left.
Lin Heng went home and told Xiulan about it, then he and her brought the children to Hongfeng Mountain.
"Son, it's time to start breeding the shrimps. When do we start?" Father Lin asked when he saw Lin Heng and the others coming.
Now it’s almost time to start selecting the prawns.
"It's time to start. Is the grass ready?" Lin Heng looked towards the hillside as he walked towards the hatching pool.
"It just came out, and it looks like the seedlings are still quite complete." Father Lin nodded.
Lin Heng nodded, walked into the house and looked at the rice fish in the pond. These were the batch of rice fish from last year.
"Leave half of these seedlings to my eldest brother, and let's put the rest in the pond."
Lin Heng thought for a while and said that his elder brother had built a new fish pond and needed some fish fry.
Then he plans to hatch another batch of grass carp fry and carp fry this year. They will grow very fast if fed with feed, and he can use them at home or give them to others.
"So what do we do now?" asked Father Lin.
"Yes, let's start now." Lin Heng nodded.
They got about 800 rice fish and dumped them into the pond that previously housed grass carp.
After lunch, they called their eldest brother to help them move the remaining fish fry to the fish pond he had dug.
After cleaning the fish fry, the two men released the water in the pond, and then sterilized and disinfected them in preparation for the subsequent cultivation of shrimp fry.
After finishing all this, Lin Heng went to the village to help check on the cultivation of their astragalus seedlings.
He had provided guidance when the village was raising seedlings before, and he felt relieved when he saw signs of seedlings emerging.
This is the first project of the village cooperative. Since he has helped, he cannot make any mistakes in the process of helping.
After seeing the whole place, he went to Hongfeng Mountain to call Xiulan home.
The village has been planting melons and beans these days, but Lin Heng's family is not in a hurry. The seedlings in the greenhouse are already three or four centimeters tall. They can just wait for a rainy day after Qingming Festival to plant them directly. The survival rate will be very high.
"Going into town tomorrow?"
On the road, Xiulan took Lin Heng's hand and asked softly.
Lin Heng nodded: "I have to go downstairs to do something. Do you want to come with me? The Chinese toon must have grown on the roadside."
Xiulan shook her head slightly: "No, let's go outing together in a few days. I want to keep the memory. As for tomorrow, I plan to go pick ferns with my mother."
"Okay then." Lin Heng nodded, and the two of them walked back slowly with the child. (End of this chapter)
