In my days as a farmer

Although the tenant changed his vest and continued to eat the big family, Xia Dongli still forgave him.

Because he discovered that his dragonfly, which eats Bawang's meal, is also called Wuba Goufly, which is the existence he failed to catch in the game.

Although he couldn't catch it in the game, he raised one in real life!

Xia Dongli, who had disliked this uninvited bird before, immediately changed his mind. In order to keep this little dragonfly, he also turned off the mosquito lamp and fly trap in the yard.

This move was undoubtedly very effective. In the next few days, Xia Dongli discovered that the dragonfly would appear in the small courtyard from time to time.

It also seems to have a good impression of its birthplace, and often nests under the lotus leaves when it does not need to hunt.Xia Dongli also specially searched around in the small pond, and finally found the shell left by the magma hookfly when it emerged from a lotus leaf stalk, and immediately put it in the collection.

"In fact, it can indeed be said to be fate." Chen Li held up the camera and took pictures of Xia Dongli's collection of shells, and when Xia Dongli asked in surprise that this would also be cut into the film, he replied: "Juyuan The juvenile period of Gumpfly is four or five years, they have a big appetite and high requirements for the environment, you see, it has only been a long time since you moved here, isn’t it fate that you can meet a sub-adult?”

"Four or five years?" Xia Dongli was startled, and he said a little puzzled: "Then where did it come from? The water squirrel shouldn't be able to fly, right? My place is quite far from the nearby pond."

"Did you draw it when you pumped it?"

Xia Dongli shook his head: "The water in the small pond was all purified water and rainwater for water quality testing, and some was melted snow water. I have never pumped water from other small ponds."

He thought about it carefully, the only non-original ecology of their small pond was the small stones piled up by the pond, but the water squirrel was brought back by him lying on the stones, and it was able to survive the process of piling up the stones without any accident. , this luck is too good, right?

You must know that when Xia Dongli piled up the stones, he threw the mud balls into the gaps of the stones by beating them according to the online tutorial. The stones on the side of their small pond were washed away by the heavy rain. The water squirrels who survived... definitely did not rely on luck, but depended entirely on strength.

Chen Ke glanced at him, a little speechless: "The water slug is an aquatic insect, it can leave the water, but it can't leave it for a long time, so when you are still moving the stone, it should have jumped off the stone by instinct Into the water."

"By the way," he shook the camera: "It may also be aquatic plants. The aquatic plants in your pond are also fished, right?"

"Ah...not really." Xia Dongli recalled, his expression gradually becoming weird: "Most of the aquatic plants in my pond directly used the moisturizing and anti-collision bedding when my parents sent Ah Da Ah Er over. correct……"

Xia Dongli took out his phone and looked at the branch of Wuba Gouting. His hometown really belongs to the branch.He hurriedly sent a wechat to the family group, and Dad Xia's reply confirmed his guess.

The two tortoises of the Xia family are raised in the fish tank at home, and their family is not specialized in this kind of aquaculture, and of course it is impossible to prepare all kinds of bedding, so the bedding in the big box sent by the two parents is all It was teased from the landscape pond in Papa Xia's school.

Of course, before doing it, Xia's father confirmed with the school's greening management staff that these aquatic plants have no effect on the turtle.

"It seems that your father's school greening department did not abide by the placement principle." Chen Li glanced at Xia Dongli's WeChat display and laughed, jokingly.

The so-called placement principle is that after picking up the aquatic plants and debris in the pool, they should be placed near the water source for one night, so that these aquatic animals that are accidentally picked up have enough time to return to the water without accidental death.

But Xia's father was just for fishing plants and moss, so of course it was impossible to follow the principle of placement, so he sent the water squid to Xiaojin Village across a long distance.

Xia Dongli recalled what he did after receiving the two turtles. Because the environment of the small pool was relatively boring at that time, he thought he could make a landscape after seeing the moss and water plants in the box, so he asked Xun Yu to keep the things. down.

Fortunately, I stayed!Otherwise, wouldn't his Wuba Gouting be about to perish in a foreign land!

"But if it's really the reason for it to come here..." Xun Yao paused and said, "Doesn't that mean there's only one of them here?"

"That's right!" Xia Dongli was stunned, looking at the dragonfly basking in the shade outside the window, his expression immediately became complicated. If there is no ethnic group nearby, this dragonfly will be forced to be single!

As the instigator, although it was not intentional, Xia Dongli couldn't help but still covered his heart, feeling a little pain in his conscience.

"Not necessarily, we have also found traces of dragonflies in our province, and the insects have been moving north these years." Chen Li expressed a different opinion, "Many cities in the south will carry out mosquito killing activities every spring and summer to prevent dengue fever. , such as pumping out ponds or throwing mosquito-eating fish into the water. In this process, it is inevitable to kill by mistake, and even if the water gnats succeed in eclosion, the population of the population will inevitably decline in the face of a large reduction in food."

"There is another factor." He gestured in the direction of Xia Dongli's small pond: "Now some parks have begun to use your purification tank, which will filter out insect eggs while reusing the water , so there are fewer and fewer dragonflies in the south these years, basically only in some protected areas or gardens.”

"Combined with global warming, the average annual temperature in some geographically northern areas is quite high, so insects including dragonflies are gradually moving northward. After they find a way to survive the winter in the north, it is estimated that In the future, you can see southern insects in the north."

"Wait! Wait!!" Xia Dongli couldn't sit still when he heard this, he raised his palm at Chen Li to stop him, and then asked cautiously: "Your so-called northbound insects, including Cockroaches?"

"Of course." Researcher Xiao Chen showed his professionalism as a practitioner in the science industry at this moment. Although he was wearing a sloppy little vest and shorts, his aura made people look sharp like a white coat at first glance. feel.

But what he said was terrible: "You mean the American cockroach. In fact, many cities in the north have already appeared, and they were basically brought by express trucks. This species is not as cold-resistant as our common German cockroach. Blatte, but isn’t there heating in the north, as long as you find the right place, it’s not impossible to survive the winter.”

Seeing that Xia Dongli's expression was not very good, he waved his hand and comforted him: "Xiao Xia, you should be fine here, there is still a bare area from your place outside, if there is no heating, even if they can survive in the temperature of our northeast You can't reproduce, so don't think too much about it!"

How!what!Can!able!No!many!think!

After bidding farewell to Xiao Chen, who was off work that day, Xia Dongli sat in the living room for a while, with his hands crossed on his chin, and he assumed a thinking posture like a commanding officer. With his black-rimmed glasses, he looked Really has a bit of momentum.

"Adong, I'm fine. Let's take a shower." Xun Yao came out of the bathroom while wiping his hair with a towel on his head. He was stunned for a moment, turned his footsteps, and approached his boyfriend: "What's wrong?"

"Xiao Yao..." Xia Dongli raised his head bit by bit, looked at Xun Yao who looked puzzled, and said deeply, "Have you ever seen a southern cockroach?"

Xun Yao tilted his head slightly. Although he was a little puzzled why his lover asked such a question, he shook his head honestly.

That's right, my boyfriend lost his memory, and the time he picked it up was just at the beginning of spring. Let alone the southern cockroaches, Xun Yao might have never even seen the northern ones. He lowered his head again, as if pulling the dark clouds from the sky Came over and covered it with a cover and said in a low voice: "I have seen..."

That was when he participated in the training activities of the Writers Association, we went to Hainan together.

As a native of the north, Xia Dongli had never seen that kind of black creature that would pounce on people.He will never forget that scene—he and Lao Xu were huddled under the quilt to watch a ghost movie, and the air conditioner kept blowing cold outside in the dark room. Unbearable cold.

And just when Miss Jiaye was about to climb out on the TV, a black shadow flew past in front of the TV screen, Xia Dongli and Xu Yibai who were unprepared immediately hugged each other and screamed.As if attracted by their cries, the dark thing flew towards them.

The sound of the flapping wings of insects was particularly obvious. The black insect landed on Lao Xu's hair at that time, Xu Yibai was so frightened that it faded on the spot, and it was Xia Dongli who trembled and turned on the bedside lamp.

However, the dim light did not bring them any warmth. After seeing the true face of the creature, all the two northern men could do was stand side by side with pillows in their hands as weapons, and use the bed as the center of defense. It's offensive only.

That's right, it was the southern cockroach that made the two of them tremble.

The one that Xia Dongli and the others saw was not an ordinary southern cockroach, but a Periplaneta americana that grew unscrupulously and savagely in a geomantic treasure like Hainan Island, across thousands of mountains and rivers.

The two roots on the top of the bald head are three centimeters long, and the whole mantis is estimated to be 8 or 9 centimeters. Ahem, Xia Dongli and Xu Yibai have some disputes about its length. Xu Yibai insists that At least 12 cockroaches were facing up, but Xia Dongli thought it should not be that big after checking the cockroach data.

Cough, don't care how big it is, anyway, the meeting scared the two young people quite a lot. In the end, the screams of the two boys attracted the president from the next door. The cowardly appearance was also photographed by the troublemakers and kept in their youth album.

Of course, since it is the Provincial Writers Association, the president is also from the north, he is also so ignorant that he was frightened by the southern cockroaches. In the end, the wife of the president who was born in the south picked up the slippers scattered on the ground and strode like a meteor, and simply stayed behind. The life of that cockroach.

Although the female goddess returned to her gentle and gentle appearance after throwing down her slippers, Xia Dongli swore that when she slapped cockroaches, her aura would be no less than that of Sanyuan, who would break through the sky with a sword. In short, she was handsome and invincible .

Xia Dongli didn't want to mention his embarrassing past, but in order to prevent such a embarrassing scene from happening in this family... Xia Dongli felt that he had to work hard.

"I'm hesitating... I just asked on the Internet how to prevent cockroaches, and netizens gave me a lot of help." Xia Dongli whispered: "Do you think I raise geckos, white-fronted tall spiders, praying mantises or Where's the cat?"

He snapped his fingers and said to the surprised Xun Yao: "The gecko is a protected animal now, it seems that it is not easy to buy, but you can keep the gecko, but the gecko still wants to warm it up."

"The white-fronted tall spider is said to be a very well-behaved spider. It usually stays quietly in the corner and doesn't know how to use a web. When it catches a cockroach, it eats it and leaves after eating. It looks a little scary. I'm afraid of being scared to rice."

"We have a praying mantis, but it doesn't seem to be easy to keep in the house, and its lifespan is too short, it will die after autumn... Otherwise, we should raise a cat."

Xia Dongli looked serious, "It is said that cats will eat animals as long as they are alive. People on the Internet say that cats like to catch bugs the most. They can catch cockroaches, flies and rice worms in minutes, but rice may be unhappy... I I have to tell it clearly that cats are not pets, but tool cats...Damn it, why can’t dragonflies catch cockroaches? No, our dragonflies are so big, maybe they can catch cockroaches too, but the number is too small, or find a way to breed them ……Well!"

Xun Yao gently moved his face away, and smiled at his blushing boyfriend: "It's okay, I don't need a cat, I can do it."

"...Xiao Ling, you've never seen a cockroach..." Xia Dongli muttered in a low voice, but after being frightened by someone, he came back to his senses. He rubbed his face and regained consciousness, "Wait until there are cockroaches in our house." Let’s talk about it, this kind of bugs follow the food, and they definitely wouldn’t come if no one lived in the small brick house before.”

"By the way... I have to put the courier packaging somewhere else!" Xia Dongli suddenly thought of Chen Li once said that cockroach eggs were stuck to the courier box, and suddenly felt that the cardboard piled up at home had some face He became disgusted, "But where should I put it... It must be a little away from the house, so that the larvae cannot touch it, or else put it in the sheepfold? But I am afraid that the sheep will chew on the cardboard, and they will eat everything."

"Build a chicken coop." Xun Yao patted him on the shoulder and suggested: "The chickens and ducks at home are about to grow up, so it won't work to keep them in the yard all the time."

"And if it's a cockroach..." He paused, then said very rationally, "Chickens and ducks should be eaten too, right? They are non-toxic insects after all."

"...!!!"

"Adong?"

Xia Dongli fell into deep thought: "I think, otherwise, we should not let the chickens and ducks move out."

He looked serious, and his raised eyes sparkled: "I think the chickens and ducks are quite safe at home, what should I do if I encounter a weasel when I move out!"

Xun Yao: "..."

The author has something to say: Dongli: Don’t think about it, the chickens and ducks are not allowed to move because they are defending the small brick house!

Dongli: I really think weasels are not safe, really!

Dongli: By the way, I heard that mice also eat cockroaches?Um………………
