Original War

Chapter 530

The time is approaching the end of the year. Under normal circumstances, it has entered autumn and the temperature should drop. However, the forest of the beasts is still active, and there is no sign of autumn. On the contrary, the weather is getting hotter.

“It was the same at this time last year.” The old man Ziwu sat on the rock, looking at the mountains and forests in the distance, and sighed, “No, this year is hotter than last year.”

The more unusual changes in the weather make people feel uneasy.

Fortunately, with the experience of last year, they have calmed down a lot this year. Moreover, this year the two branches of the Yanjiao tribe will reunite, which can calm people’s hearts and boost morale. If you have any difficulties, you can solve them together.

After experiencing the unusually cold winter on the other side of the sea, and then experiencing the weather on the other side that seemed to be stepping into summer, Zhengluo and others were quite uncomfortable. But it’s better to be warmer than to freeze into ice, right?

Warm weather also has its disadvantages. The animals in the forest that should have begun to wilt are very active. These flying insects are only one of the types. When hunters enter the forest to hunt, they can clearly feel those The beasts didn’t plan to spend the winter at all, they were quite energetic. Venomous snakes, insects and ants are also a trouble.

“What’s going on over there?” The pacing old lady Wu had a sullen face, watching a team hurriedly rushing out of the forest not far away.

“Hey, what’s going on over there?” The old man Wu Jia stopped chanting who was running.

When I heard the witch call myself, I didn’t care about it, so I ran over to explain, “Witch, I heard that there are many bugs in the fields outside to eat the cabbage. The leader is so angry that we can come and help.”

“A lot of insects?” The two witches were startled. The first thing they thought of was the heavenly veins planted in the forest. They hurried to the ground to look at them, for fear that the land where the heavenly veins were planted would also be infested by insects.

The good thing is that there is no flying insect on the side of the sky veins, and even the underground, there are very few insects appearing. These sky veins seem to be inherently resistant to insects. Of course, it is limited to the unbroken sky veins.

Seeing this situation, the two Wus felt calm and waved their hands to let Baibai hurriedly go to the field outside to help kill the insects. A lot of things have been planted in the field, some have not sprouted, some have just sprouted, and the ones that suffer the most are probably the Chinese cabbage.

“If it were in previous years, those bugs would not be so active.” A worried expression appeared in Wu’s eyes.

Excluding the situation of last year, before this time, under normal circumstances, many of the wintering insects and beasts in the mountains and forests are ready to spend the winter, and they will not fly around in groups. Since the people of Yanjiao have come here, they have never encountered them. After such an infestation of insects. Perhaps due to the weather, these bugs that hadn’t planned to spend the winter all came out to move, as if another spring was ushered in.

In addition, Yanjiao’s expansion of farmland outside the forests also attracted many flying insects.

In the past, I only saw a small wave of flying insects occasionally, and the people guarding the farmland could cope with it, but now that there are more, they can’t stand it, and they can only rely on more soldiers for help.

When Shao Xuan got there, the farmland was in chaos.

Swinging knives, swords, clubs and hammers, they crowded together noisily.

Shao Xuan photographed one of those flying insects with a length of more than 20 centimeters, pinched it and looked at it.

Light green and slightly yellowish flying insects, with two large compound eyes, a slightly wider front chest, slender abdomen, two pairs of almost transparent wings with criss-crossing network veins, and five pairs of thin Long feet with pointed claws on the feet. The first pair of feet is a catching type for catching. When they fly on the leaves, these pairs of fine claw feet can hold the leaves firmly. And let them not fall.

This flying insect also has a chewing mouthpart, which makes it very easy to chew the leaves.

It is these flying insects that make the warriors of the tribe anxious to wait for flames on their heads. They are able to deal with large and fierce beasts, but when they encounter so many small flying insects, they can’t be busy all at once, and as soon as these flying insects fly high, it becomes more difficult for them to kill them. With arrows? It is also inappropriate.

This kind of flying insect won’t fly too high, but after all, soldiers can’t fly. Even if they can jump higher, they will be embarrassed when they kill the insects. Sometimes when there are more insects, there are more people, and when the insects are killed, some people jump into the air and hit them. The worm didn’t kill it, but it knocked him into a daze.

Some people thought of pulling the net, but the area of ​​the farmland is too large, and it is impossible to take care of it all at once. It is impossible to cover all the ground. Besides, the woven net, unless the stitching of the net is made smaller, otherwise Flying insects are useless, they can squeeze in through the seams of the net.

Finally, this wave of insect swarms were almost wiped out, and the busy people stopped.

“Someone made a net and can cover another batch today, but if it always does, it won’t be a problem.” Mai looked at the pitted leaves, angrily said.

Shao Xuan also thought.

You have to let these crops see the sun when you are farming. A too dense net can block some flying insects, but it also blocks the sun, which is not a safe way.

Spray pesticide?

Don’t say it hasn’t been developed, even if there is, no one can guarantee that people will be healthy after poisoning the insects. The conditions are limited, and it is impossible to study the ratio more precisely.

“It’s better to rely on us.” Sitting next to gasping, babbling and sweating hurriedly survived. They have never felt that killing insects is so hard. They have to kill those flying insects and be careful not to step on the ground. It’s really hard to plant things.

Someone was holding a broad plank, but the effect was limited.

“You can make some small holes in the board, and then thin the bottom of the board to make a handle, so it’s easy to handle.” Shao Xuan said.

The soldier holding the plank’s eyes lit up and thought that this method was feasible, so he immediately took out his tools and began to chisel the plank.

Some people are tidying up the mess, picking up the corpses on the ground and putting them together. Because the silly birds don’t eat these worms, and the other breeds are mostly vegetarian, they use these corpses to make fertilizer. , And later fat land. This also greatly relieved the people of the tribe. You came here, little flying insect. Didn’t it become the fertilizer in the ground in the end?

Shao Xuan looked at the surrounding ground, raised his foot and headed back into the forest. He was going to the casting room.

That night.

Because the cabbage in the field is no longer a secret, the surrounding area is not too tightly guarded. After the daytime insect plague, the soldiers guarding the farmland are a bit tired.

A figure sneaked in with the night, like a thin leaf blown by the wind, fluttering over the wooden fence around the cabbage field, falling on the ground with an insignificant sound.

After the shadow fell on the ground, he listened carefully and confirmed that it did not attract the attention of those guarding the farmland. It then “floats” again, like a butterfly flapping a flower, falling on a Chinese cabbage, it will leave at the touch of a moment, only a short time. The “chi” sound is like an unobtrusive worm.

Still no one noticed here.

Hiding in the shadow of a cabbage taller than a human, the man took a cut of a cabbage leaf into his nose and smelled it. This small piece of leaf was cut off from the vegetable ball near the middle. He had heard people from Yanjiao say that the leaf on the middle vegetable ball was more crispy and tasted better. He has been staring for a few days, always wanting to come over to taste the new dishes that Yanjiao has discovered, and today he finally waited for his chance.

He likes to be vegetarian instead of meat. Put the small leaf into your mouth and taste it, chew it carefully, and it feels pretty good, crispy and fresh.

After lurking for so long, he finally got something satisfactory.

The moonlight cast by the two moons in the sky is not bright, and it is blocked by clouds from time to time. The guards who glanced in did not notice that under a cabbage leaf that was much higher than a human in the ground, it was in a darker shadow than night. , Hiding the individual.

After eating the cut leaves, the man looked around. When he jumped up just now, he quickly scanned the surroundings. Even though the surroundings were dark, he could still see the surroundings clearly. He remembered that not far away, there was a bigger cabbage, much larger than the others around. When he jumped up, he noticed it with a glance, and he decided to start with the biggest cabbage.

I don’t know how the people in Yanjiao will react when they find that the biggest one in the field is missing a vegetable ball in the middle of tomorrow? Thinking about it, he was looking forward to it.
