Chapter 20 Practicing Marksmanship
After experiencing the brief noise of fish selling, the Lotus Reservoir quickly returned to its former peace.
The impact of the mullet incident forced many of Cen Jiahua's original plans to change to avoid greater losses. Because he was worried that there would be other mutated mullets in the reservoir, the fry booked in the seedling farm had to be temporarily cancelled.
The layout of the duck farm must also be changed, not only to allow the ducks to have a wide enough water area, but also to beware of mutant mullets that are likely to appear.
In the next few days, Cen Jiahua still invested a lot of money and asked someone to wrap around Ya Island and E Island with bamboo fences, leaving only a small exit. The water opposite the exit happened to be a shallow water area, and the water area was surrounded by bamboo and iron nets to form a circle about one acre of size.
These fences that have been deep into the soil provide a safety guarantee for ducks and geese. At least the free-range waterfowl will no longer face too many dangers. After this incident, although the free-range waterfowl on the island has become much narrower in the water-swimming area, it is still enough.
After nearly a month of "Spirit Gathering Array", poultry raised on three small islands has undergone great changes from when they first arrived. These were originally carefully selected healthy seedlings. Under the nourishment of the "Spirit Gathering Array", not only has the growth and development speed increased, but also have improved a lot of physical fitness.
I ate ready-made food all day, and took out grass and insects cultivated by the "spirit gathering array" as a meal, and then enjoyed the sunshine and rain of nature every day. If the poultry grown in such a superior environment is in a bad condition, Cen Jiahua will really be crying without tears.
Those half-large roosters would jump very high, and some small trees and shrubs on the island became their paradise, jumping up and down all day long, making the whole chicken island very lively. Once someone came to the island, they immediately rushed towards the people as if they had received instructions.
Because they have developed conditioned reflexes, once someone goes to the island, it means they will be fed immediately.
Cen Jiahua used the gourd ladle in his hand to scatter the corn kernels in the bag to the middle of the surrounding chickens. He saw that the corn kernels were almost jubilant wherever they went, and the chickens were scrambling to peck at the food.
Looking at these chickens that have changed every day, Cen Jiahua's mood, which has been a little depressed by the mullets these days, has finally improved a little. It seems that this "spirit gathering array" is not impossible to use, but should pay attention to selecting objects so that there will be no problems.
Poultry like chickens and ducks that do not have attack ability will naturally not attack similar or humans because of the "spirit gathering array". No matter how strong a chicken is, it will not transform into an eagle.
Seeing the chickens that were full and full of food and drink walking around the chicken coop, Cen Jiahua thought in her mind that she would buy new seedlings immediately, and that poultry would be slaughtered every month in the future. Within this year, the situation of the reservoir is probably not suitable for free fish fry. If you want to collect the contract fee for the next year and ensure the operation of the entire reservoir, you really have to put some effort into it.
Before the boat landed, I heard Chen Yang standing on the dam shouting from afar. The distance was too far, and the dam was at the downwind. If it were someone else, I wouldn't hear what he was saying?
Fortunately, Cen Jiahua's hearing is much different from that of ordinary people because she has practiced the "health preservation skills", so she clearly heard Chen Yang's voice: "Brother Jiahua, I have brought you the air rifle that I bought for you!"
After saying that, he raised the rifle in his hand and waved it at Cen Jiahua.
After the last time I went into the mountain to fight partridges with Chen Yang, Cen Jiahua always wanted to buy an air rifle to play with. She just didn’t go into the mountain to fight birds, but she could also spend her guns every day and pass some boring time.
There is too little entertainment content on the mountain. Every day, except for working, you just stare at the scenery alone. At night, because mosquitoes are very powerful, Cen Jiahua often quickly hides in the mosquito net and practices.
Cen Jiahua remembered the rumor about the soldiers stationed on the border islands of the motherland: "When the soldiers look at the soldiers during the day, count the stars at night!"
This situation is actually similar. I have a dull Uncle Wang San, but I really have no object to talk to. Sometimes, as soon as Uncle Wang San returns home, Cen Jiahua is left alone in the entire huge reservoir. It is very fake to say that it is not boring.
It seems that adding some entertainment facilities to yourself is a very necessary thing, but when Cen Jiahua thinks of spending money, he feels depressed!
Back on the shore and taking the air rifle from Chen Yang's hand, Cen Jiahua couldn't wait to start fiddling with it.
Last time Chen Yang taught him how to use an air rifle. In addition, the use of an air rifle is actually very simple, so Cen Jiahua got started quickly.
This is a brand new manual air rifle, which uses 4.5mm lead bullets as bullets. After each firing, you need to manually press the compressed air to carry out the next shot.
"Ayang, when will you go to make up for the lesson?" While fiddling with the new gun, Cen Jiahua did not forget to ask Chen Yang about it.
"It's almost time. I'll start tutoring in a few days. The third year of high school is coming." Chen Yang sighed a little and looked forward to it.
"Don't be too nervous, it's just the college entrance examination, believe in yourself!" Cen Jiahua turned to look at Chen Yang, comforted him and said, "If you have any problems in the future, just call you Brother Jiahua, and your brother will definitely help you."
Cen Jiahua likes Chen Yang very much. She is enthusiastic and sincere in treating others. Because of him, Cen Jiahua can quickly understand some of the situations in Rongshu Village. He can also be regarded as the guide for Cen Jiahua's new life in Rongshu Village.
As soon as the new gun was obtained, Cen Jiahua's heart was itchy. He held the gun and aimed left and right, and he wanted to get addicted to shooting a target. There were mountains and forests above the dam. It was early in the morning, and many birds were standing on the trees and chirping. Cen Jiahua felt that they were provoking him!
With a pack of lead bullets in his arms, Cen Jiahua held the air rifle and got into the forest. Unfortunately, Cen Jiahua could count the number of times he touched the gun in his life, and his marksmanship was really inferior. Even though he had practiced the exercises, his eyesight and hearing, he could not hit the arrogant bird on the tree.
After half a day, after a pack of 100 lead bullets, a single bird's hair was not harvested. However, several shots were shot beside the bird, scaring the birds into the forest and screaming and flying around.
Just as noon approached, Cen Jiahua came back with a gun in disappointment.
Chen Yang, who was sitting on the stone bench reading a book, looked at Cen Jiahua returning empty-handed and comforted him: "It doesn't matter. This shooting is practice, and you can just contact us more in the future."
"Well, it's not bad. I found a little bit of the last few shots. I'll practice for a while in the evening and it's almost done." Cen Jiahua recalled the whole process and had some experience. He continued, "I'll have dinner here at noon. How troublesome is it to run around?"
After lunch, Chen Yang saw that he could not find any entertainment projects on the dam, so he suggested that Cen Jiahua say, "Brother Jiahua, why don't we go and pick up snails?"
