Ang Lee looked at the wild boars in the valley. They lived a carefree life and his heart was filled with emotions. These wild boars didn't have high demands. As long as they had food to fill their stomachs, they were very satisfied.
After eating and drinking their fill, groups of wild boars would gather together and bask in the sun in an open area. Their satisfied expressions would make people envious and feel that their lives were very happy. At least, they were much happier than humans who were full of worries. However, the happy life of the wild boars was destined to be short. They were imprisoned in this valley and faced the fate of being slaughtered at any time. As long as humans needed, they could kill these wild boars at any time and take their meat to eat.
Just a moment ago, Ang Lee wanted to eat wild boar meat. Didn't he also ask his servant to kill a small wild boar? From this, it seemed that the comfortable life of the wild boars was temporary. These wild boars that seemed to be living a comfortable life were facing the fate of being slaughtered at any time. Perhaps only at the moment of being slaughtered would these poor wild boars understand how fragile their comfortable life was.
Of course, the only road in the valley had been sealed. These wild boars couldn't escape no matter what. Thus, even if these wild boars had a long-term vision and didn't covet the temporary comfort, it was basically meaningless to try to escape. The final outcome would still be to be slaughtered by humans. From this point of view, coveting the temporary comfort seemed to be the right way to go, which was the so-called carpe diem.
Whether coveting the comfortable life or carpe diem was the right choice or not, different people had different understandings. As for which one was reasonable, no one could say for sure.
Normally, people would judge based on the results. If a person tried his best, suffered a lot, but didn't get anything in the end, and even gave up the time he could have enjoyed, people would naturally sigh and feel that this person was living at a disadvantage. He didn't enjoy when he should have enjoyed, so he was living at a disadvantage.
Of course, if a person achieved great success through his own efforts and was able to enjoy greater happiness, it would make people feel that coveting the comfortable life was very wrong.
To put it simply, when there was hope and when one could achieve something through hard work, one shouldn't covet the comfortable life. Instead, one should strive hard to change one's environment. If one couldn't see any hope and couldn't find any way to change one's environment, one could only choose to covet the temporary comfort so that one could at least enjoy a short period of happiness.
For example, these wild boars in the valley had been reared by Ang Lee. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't escape the valley. They were facing the fate of being slaughtered at any time. If they fought against fate, they might die even faster. In this case, the wild boars had to covet the comfortable life...... when it was time to eat....... and bask in the sun when they were full.............. to enjoy the temporary happiness.. Anyway, they would suffer......... it..............
.. with humans............... In a place full of opportunities, one naturally had to strive hard to achieve greater success and have a better life so that one could realize the value of one's life.
In a closed and monopolized environment, no matter how hard one tried, one would not be able to change one's living conditions. In that case, one might as well settle down and do an ordinary job. One might as well be a poor citizen for the rest of one's life. One might as well not fight for anything and just live a peaceful life.
Whether one coveted the comfortable life or not depended on one's actual conditions. Since ancient times, there were many people in Hua Xia who coveted the comfortable life of seclusion. They didn't care about anything in the world. The reason was that they had a sense of helplessness that they couldn't change anything. Since they couldn't change anything and couldn't save the people who were in deep trouble, what was the point of working hard? They might as well live in seclusion deep in the mountains and not care about anything. They could just live like this for the rest of their lives.
'After eating and drinking, I'll go bask in the sun. Sooner or later, I'll be stabbed. Puff!'
Ang Lee said in his heart as he looked at a wild boar that was moving around with its mouth wide open.
The fate of these wild boars was undoubtedly more tragic. They would be stabbed sooner or later. Humans, who were more powerful, weren't much better off. In the face of time, humans were extremely insignificant. This was because time was a very sharp butcher's knife to humans. No one could avoid this butcher's knife. Be it good or bad, big shots or small commoners, they would all be slaughtered by time in the end. No one could be spared.
Of course, Qin Shihuang had everything that a person could have. He could obtain everything that a human could obtain. However, the only thing he couldn't obtain was his own lifespan. In the face of the butcher's knife, Qin Shihuang was helpless. He really didn't have a single solution. In the end, this emperor who unified the six directions was also robbed of his life by time.
Thinking of the cruelty of time, Ang Lee really didn't dare to continue thinking about it. Perhaps for a person, when it was time to work hard, they had to work hard. When it was time to enjoy life, they also had to enjoy life. There was a balance between working hard and enjoying life. Only by grasping the balance in the middle could one live the most blissful and lasting life.
Working hard for a long time might hurt a person's body. On the other hand, enjoying life too frequently would cause a person to lose the competitiveness to survive in society. As a result, he would become a useless person who didn't know anything and would live the rest of his life without food.
Ang Lee thought about life as he walked. From the wild boars in front of him, he thought of humans and then he thought of the even more terrifying time. After that, he didn't dare to continue thinking.
The road in the valley was very long and there were many forks and side roads. If he walked all the way, he was afraid that he would walk for a whole day. He wouldn't be able to finish walking even when it was dark. Therefore, Ang Lee could only walk a short distance and look at the environment in the valley. From time to time, he would take out his binoculars to observe the places he was interested in.
Ang Lee walked half a circle around the edge of the suspension bridge in the valley and saw many bird nests. He also saw rabbits and pheasants that appeared in front of him from time to time. He was very satisfied with the environment of the valley. As long as the weasels were eliminated, there would be more game in the valley. This work still needed to be done properly. These weasels were very cunning and small in size. It wouldn't be easy to eliminate them.
After returning, the situation of Tang Er and Shuang'er had improved a lot. Their stomachs were no longer so full and they didn't have stomach pains when they walked. This made Ang Lee feel a lot more relieved. Seeing that it was getting late, Ang Lee should also go back.
Before Ang Lee left, Ang Lee had to discuss with Old Zhao how to get rid of the weasels and rats that were causing trouble in the valley. The existence of these two animals was not a good thing for the valley. Ang Lee really wanted to get rid of them so that more rabbits and pheasants could be raised in the valley and increase the production of game. In the future, not only could he eat them, but he could also supply the restaurants in Beijing.
"Alang, this weasel is not easy to deal with. As long as it's a rat hole, this guy can get in. Moreover, even if all the weasels in the valley are killed, the weasels outside can still come in. They can climb in from the cliff. It's really not easy to deal with!"
When Old Zhao heard that they were going to get rid of the yellow weasel, he immediately felt troubled. There were more than a dozen of them, and their daily workload was actually not very easy. When they were busy, they were also very tired. Getting rid of the yellow weasel was not an easy thing to do. This was a very difficult thing to do. Old Zhao had no confidence in this at all. He always felt that this matter was too unreliable. He felt that Li An was a bit whimsical. Of all things to get rid of, he just had to get rid of the yellow weasel. Moreover, the yellow weasel was not an ordinary animal. It was called the Yellow Deity by the people. It could not be easily offended. If this thing was offended badly, it would not be a joke. If things went wrong, they would be retaliated.
How could Ang Lee not understand this logic? However, he had worked hard to set up the valley game farm, so how could he let the weasels take advantage of it for no reason? If the weasels existed in large numbers for a long time, then even if he spent money to buy a lot of wild rabbits and pheasants and put them into the valley, it would only be an additional meal for the weasels. In the end, the number of these two kinds of game would not increase significantly. This was something that Ang Lee could not tolerate.
According to Ang Lee's understanding, the weasel's body was very slender, and its flexibility was very good. Even if it was only a hole as small as a thumb, the weasel could get in. In other words, as long as it was a small hole that a rat could pass through, the weasel could pass through smoothly. Its hiding ability was not ordinary.
In addition, the weasel had the super ability to drill holes like a rat, and it also had the climbing ability of a cat. A cat could climb up a tree smoothly, and a weasel could do the same. Therefore, the weasel had the ability to climb up a tree to attack birds. Because the weasel's movements were very light, it generally did not make much noise when it climbed up a tree. Birds would doze at night, so they might not be able to hear small movements. In this way, the weasel could easily bite the bird to death and then have a full meal.
As long as the birds living in this valley, in fact, sooner or later, they would be in Ang Lee's stomach. The weasel stole Ang Lee's delicacies. How could this be tolerated? Although the weasel also had meat on its body, Ang Lee always felt that the weasel was the same as the rat. It was a very dirty animal, so he would not eat the weasel. If he was infected with the plague, it would not be a joke.
Although the weasel was very difficult to deal with, in order to breed a large number of hares and pheasants in the valley, the weasel had to be eliminated. Of course, the rat also had to be eliminated. These two carnivores could not be left alive.
"Of course, I know that the weasel is not easy to deal with, but after so long, there are only so many hares and pheasants in the valley. They have all been eaten by the weasel! I am very clear about the ability of pheasants and hares to give birth. Hares give birth to a nest of eggs in a month! Pheasants also give birth to nests of eggs. If they were not destroyed by the weasel, the hares and pheasants in the valley would be a disaster now. "
Ang Lee opened his mouth and said.
"Alang is right. I also understand, but this matter is really difficult to deal with! I really can't think of any good ideas. I don't know what to do. "
Old Zhao said with a frown.
"No way? Is there really no way?"
Ang Lee opened his mouth and asked.
Old Zhao nodded affirmatively and said, "Alang, I don't dare to lie. There is really no way. The weasel is too cunning. At most, I saw it once and then it disappeared. There are too many big and small rat holes in the valley, and many of them are connected. It is really difficult to deal with!"
Ang Lee nodded and said, "Ideas are all thought of by people. You should think of a way to deal with it, not say that you have no way."
"Alang, I …"
Old Zhao frowned and did not know what to say.
Ang Lee frowned and thought. According to his memory, he really did not have any impression of the way to deal with weasels. However, there were too many ways to deal with rats. There were countless ways to punish rats. However, Ang Lee felt that the difference between weasels and rats was not very big. As long as it was a way to deal with rats, it should be able to apply to weasels and eliminate both animals at the same time.
According to Ang Lee's memory, there were many ways to deal with rats. For example, you could use rat poison. You could mix the poisonous rat poison into the food and wait for the rats to come and eat it. As long as the rats ate the food with rat poison, they would be poisoned to death.
There was also the role of a rat trap. You could put the food on the trap of the rat trap. As long as the rats came to eat the food, they would immediately be caught by the rat trap, and these hateful rats would be caught alive.
The effect of a rat trap was also very good. Moreover, many rats could be caught alive at a time. It was also a very common way to catch rats in the future.
After discovering a rat hole with rats, you could pour a lot of water into the rat hole. As long as the rat hole was filled, the rats could only be forced to crawl out of the hole, and then they would be easily caught by humans. The effect of smoking was the same. Rats were not only afraid of drowning, but they were also afraid of smoke. As mammals, rats needed to breathe oxygen just like humans. Drowning and smoke would make it impossible for rats to breathe air, so they had to crawl out of the rat hole to die. The rats in a hypoxic state were extremely slow. They would be caught immediately when they came out. If the rats were allowed to rest for a while, they might run away.
Between smoking and flooding, Li An felt that the effect of smoking was better because the smoke spread faster and could quickly fill up the rat hole, leaving no place for the rats to hide. On the other hand, if the rat hole was very deep and was connected to the bottomless pit of nature, the effect of flooding would be very poor and the amount of water needed would be very large. In some dry lands, water was very scarce. It was unimaginable to use a large amount of water just to catch a few rats. The method of smoking was different. Any bundle of weeds would be enough. It was very simple and convenient.
