Chapter 619
After Wang An finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to everyone's laughter and walked to the basket containing eagle eggs.
He lifted the lid, looked at the two eggs inside that were quiet, and thought for a moment before starting to operate.
He pulled out the sparrow feathers inside first, and then pulled out some sedge grass. Wang An put the two squirrels in, face up.
I have to say, the squirrel's belly feels quite warm, but the squirrel is shedding hair quite seriously now. If you touch it lightly, you can touch down a large handful of hair.
Immediately after, Wang An put some sparrow feathers on the squirrel's belly, and only then put the two precious eagle eggs on it.
Eagle eggs are basically the same size as chicken eggs, but this thing is different from the color of chicken eggs.
For chicken eggs, they are generally red skin or white skin, while the color of eagle eggs is gray-white, and there are some red spots on them.
Of course, eagle eggs also have pure white ones, but the color of this thing is not important, just like chicken eggs, the color is the same.
After putting the two eagle eggs, he put some sparrow feathers, and finally Wang An put the remaining two squirrels on it, but these two squirrels were face down.
By this time, everyone had gathered around curiously. Obviously, everyone was still very curious about Wang An's operation.
When Wang An covered it with some sedge grass on top and stuffed sedge grass around the inner wall of the basket, I saw Wang Shuai say with a face full of emotion:
"Xiao An, you are worthy of being my brother from a different father and mother. This brain is too capable of pondering. Squirrel brooding, it is simply unheard of and unseen."
After Wang Shuai finished speaking, Wu Dong followed closely and said:
"Yeah, I don't even dare to think about it."
He Liang said with eyes shining:
"If you want to raise any birds in the future, just let the squirrel brood, it's proper and good."
Ma Guoqiang asked He Liang very incomprehensibly: "There are old hens, why do you have to use squirrels?"
He Liang was stunned when he heard this, scratched his head and said: "That's right, this is like taking off your pants to fart."
After Wang An finished tinkering with the eagle eggs, everyone discussed the experience of shooting slingshots, and then they all fell asleep.
The night passed without incident, and in the blink of an eye, it was dawn.
After breakfast and packing up, everyone continued to walk toward home.
Passing by the two badger dens, they found that the two badger dens had already been dug by someone.
That's right, it was dug, not dug out.
Because digging out badger dens is to smoke with smoke, or like Wang An, use firecrackers or double-kickers to blow them up.
You only need to smoke or scare the badgers in the den out, and then people guard the entrance of the den and beat the badgers that come out to death.
And digging badger dens is powerful, it is simply a proper, not small project, and it is not a workload that one or two people can complete at all.
Wang An had observed those two badger dens before, and they were all proper old badger dens, that is to say, there must be a very large number of badgers inside.
And this point can be seen from the mounds of earth dug out by those badgers.
Old soil covered with new soil, new soil covered with old soil, old soil covered with old soil, new soil covered with new soil... It is impossible to see how many years this badger den has existed.
And the excavation traces at the scene also confirmed this point. The entire excavation area is about 100 square meters, which is the size of four large tile-roofed houses. When seeing this scene at that time, Feng Chengmin subconsciously sighed:
"This is that the common people of the entire village are hungry, and they have started to think of ways to enter the mountains collectively."
In fact, what Feng Chengmin said, everyone thought of it too. Mainly because the footprints here are too dense, both big and small, but most of them are cloth shoe soles.
That is to say, the people who participated in digging the badger dens were basically ordinary common people, and there might be no hunters.
Hearing Feng Chengmin's words, Wu Dong asked suspiciously: "Isn't there returned grain? I remember that returned grain can be bought on credit."
The returned grain mentioned by Wu Dong is actually a unique product of this era.
Simply put, it is that everyone has no food to eat, and then the superiors sell the public grain handed in by everyone back to everyone.
However, what needs to be known is that the price of this kind of grain, although lower than the price of grain in the grain station, and can be bought on credit in the name of the village department, has a quota.
And this quota is generally based on the population, that is, how many catties each person can buy, not sold to you in unlimited quantities.
Of course, these are not the most important, and the most important thing is that all of these have a premise.
This premise is that the area where it is located is originally a poor and backward place, or the area where it is located has suffered natural disasters, leading to serious grain shortages, etc.
In short, it is that the people in this place really have no food to eat, and then they will sell it to you.
So, after Wu Dong finished speaking, Feng Chengmin said: "Then maybe this place didn't apply for returned grain, or maybe it was too little and eaten up."
This kind of thing is uncertain. Anyway, this season of green and yellow not meeting, no matter where it is, it is not easy to pass.
This badger den was not dug out, so there was no need to look for other badger dens. Even if found, they might have been dug, which means Wang An's firecrackers were bought in vain.
For the next road, everyone subconsciously accelerated their speed. Except for shooting one or two slingshots along the way, harvesting a few squirrels or sparrows, and quails, they no longer stopped deliberately.
But even so, when everyone walked to DJ County, it was already two days later.
And the injuries on Mu Xueli and Wang Li were also much better. The most important thing is that the bruising on their faces had disappeared.
It's just that the wounds on the faces of these two people that had already scabbed looked quite ferocious, which was really very influential to the appearance.
Fortunately, the people were fine and were still so lively.
However, when everyone passed by a small river, Mu Xueli and Wang Li saw their appearance in the water, and the mood of these two people was obviously not good.
Mu Xueli's mentality was relatively good, because after a period of time, he adjusted himself and continued his talkative personality, as if the scar on his face had not affected him at all.
And Wang Li, perhaps because he was still young, the blow of disfigurement to him was also quite big, basically just silent all the time.
It seems that he had completely forgotten the sentence "it's good to be alive" he said when he was rescued.
Of course, this kind of thing can be understood by anyone. For a young man who is just 17 years old, how big can his psychological endurance be?? At this moment, everyone who returned to DJ County had almost the same idea, which was "going home."
After a simple discussion, everyone separated directly. Wu Dong and Zhang Shuya's 6 people returned to the county, and Wang An and Feng Chengmin's 4 people returned directly to Xing'an Township.
As for the matter of catching forest frogs that Zhang Shuya was thinking about, she seemed to choose to forget it directly.
