Chapter Ninety-Six: The Spirit Bird Thrush
Yaoyao's mother gasped, and after entering the door, she was already too tired to straighten her waist by holding on to the door frame.
"What's wrong with Yaoyao and her mother?"
Mother Zhang Lanjuan is also a little worried, after all, it is a pesticide sprayed with her own sprayer, and if it is licked by the children of the family, or chickens and dogs, there will be a big problem.
Originally, neighbors helped each other, and if something happened, it must be counted on their own heads, could it be that they came to slander people?
"Go and take a look, the door frame of my house has been gnawed clean, and more than half of the current moths have been poisoned, and the rest are all fluttering and flying away. ”
As soon as the words fell, Nie Tianming understood that it must be the counterproductive effect of the mixing of Juling spring water and pesticides.
Don't let the flying moth harm other people's families, or you will become a sinner in the whole village.
Yaoyao's mother led the way in front, and Nie Tianming and his parents followed behind.
When entering the gate of Yaoyao's house, Nie Tianming stood in the courtyard and found that the original wooden doors and windows of their house had all been bitten into white sawdust.
There is also a layer of gray moths and flying ant carcasses on the ground, mixed with white wood chips, which is particularly eye-catching.
This is the part that was poisoned by pesticides, and the remaining moths and flying ants that absorbed the effects of the Juling Spring Water all flew away.
How should this be, we must find a way to rectify it, otherwise it will be a big problem.
"Isn't this something unclean, how can ordinary moths and flying ants be so powerful? ”
"I also wondered, in the blink of an eye, I thought about going out for a walk, so that the smell of the house would be dispersed, for fear of choking.
I finished watering from the yard and when I came back, I found that the doors and windows were like this. ”
Yaoyao's mother seemed to be more emotional, and it seemed that she believed her mother Zhang Lanjuan's "dyed unclean things".
In the countryside, many strange events that do not conform to common sense will be given a layer of mysterious meaning.
In the case that science cannot explain it, the cause and development of the matter are often attributed to ghosts and gods in order to have an explanation.
Dad heard the analysis of the two girls, and said coldly: "Don't spread anything, it must be poison that stimulated them, inside the original hollow doors and windows,
There must have been a lot of flying ants and moths sleeping, only to be awakened by the medicinal properties of the poison, and then gnawed all the door frames. ”
Nie Tianming secretly gave his father a thumbs up in his heart, this is a decent explanation.
Sure enough, after Daddy Nie Changsheng finished speaking, Yaoyao's mother and her mother both nodded at the same time, expressing their approval.
But Nie Tianming was still thinking about other things in his heart.
All the moths and flying ants that have drunk the water of Juling Spring must be caught, otherwise, the entire Nanquan Village and the entire Lion Rock may be gnawed by them.
Nie Tianming raised his eyes to the sky, trying to find traces of moths and flying ants.
But I stumbled upon a few birds flying over the yard.
Yes, birds eat insects, and it's only fitting to use birds against moths and flying ants.
As soon as he said it, Nie Tianming went straight out of the door and began to run into the woods outside the village.
On the way, Nie Tianming thought about it, the sparrow must not be good, the woodpecker's beak is too big, and it is not easy to fly to the villagers' homes.
The crow Nie Tianming didn't like it very much, the turtle doves and magpies were too heavy, and they wouldn't necessarily eat moths and flying ants.
When he arrived at the woods, Nie Tianming heard a gentle chirp.
That's right, it's a thrush!
The thrush has a higher IQ than other birds, and its body is relatively petite, which is relatively common in the village.
What's more, thrushes are omnivorous and eat mainly insects throughout the year, most of which are agricultural and forestry pests, including locusts, tsubaki elephants, pine caterpillars, golden tortoise shells, larvae of Lepidopteran Tensha moths and larvae of other moths.
Plant foods are mainly seeds, fruits, grass seeds, wild fruits, strawberries, etc. During the breeding season, the parent birds catch a large number of insects in order to feed the chicks.
During the non-breeding season, after the beginning of autumn, insects become less and less fed on various plant fruits, weed seeds, or tender vegetables.
In mountainous areas, before the frost and snow come, the thrush will also collect fruits and seeds and store them in the underground caverns or rocks on the side of the rocks as food for wintering.
Therefore, there is a proverb among the peasants in the mountains: "The thrush hides more grain, and the snow lasts longer." "In early spring, it also occasionally pecks at legume crops and corn seedlings
It's fitting to use thrushes against moths and flying ants.
Nie Tianming opened the Shunfeng Ear and Sky Eye, and saw two thrushes combing their feathers on the branches.
One of them had a glowing cyan glow on its body, which seemed to have a certain spirituality.
"Can you come down and help, I have a good for you. ”
Nie Tianming said to the thrush.
There was another gentle birdsong, and the thrush flew down the branch and landed not far from Nie Tianming to watch him.
The thrush was more wary of Nie Tianming, it had lived in this forest for several years, and it had never met a person who could talk to him, and it felt very strange.
Nie Tianming made a long story short and explained the matter.
But what the thrush said to Nie Tianming seemed to understand, but it didn't seem to understand, and looked at him sideways.
"Call all your companions, I have good things for you. ”
As he spoke, Nie Tianming took out the Spirit Gathering Bottle.
The moment the vial appeared in front of the thrush, it let out a high-pitched cry that sounded excited.
It has already opened up its spiritual wisdom a little, and its feelings of spiritual power are very sensitive and strong.
It had begun to believe that what Nie Tianming said was true, instead of using it to hunt down its own partners.
"Go ahead, the sooner the better, I'll wait for you here. ”
The thrush agreed, and then flew up to the branch and muttered to the other for a while, and the two birds flew to the head and began to gather their companions.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Nie Tianming picked up a plastic box containing biscuits from the side of the road, and went to the Nanquan River to fill a pool of water.
He opened the Spirit Gathering Bottle and mixed a drop of Spirit Gathering Spring Water into the water, and in an instant, cyan smoke rose up.
Those moths and flying ants had drunk extremely diluted Gathering Spirit Spring water, and they must not be able to fight the army of thrushes they had summoned.
A few minutes later, more than twenty thrushes landed on the branches, chirping, and looked at Nie Tianming under the tree.
The thrush at the lead, well recognized, has a pinch of distinct white feathers on its head.
Nie Tianming beckoned, it flew down, and when he saw the box in Nie Tianming's hand, his small eyes let out a fine light.
Quickly flew to Nie Tianming's hand, and the thrush lowered its head to drink. Nie Tianming could see the cyan light on its body, which gradually turned into a hazy mist. It's more intense.
Nie Tianming put the box on the ground, it raised its head and cried, and a group of thrushes all gathered around.
After a while, the water in the box was drained.
Nie Tianming could see the thrush birds that originally did not have a trace of aura fluctuations, and a cyan light also appeared on their bodies.
"You are the head of these birds, and you have a tuft of white hair on your head, so I'll call you white eyebrows." ”
Bai Mei gladly accepted, and a flock of birds immediately responded, and the sound made was more graceful than before, and Nie Tianming was numb after hearing it, as if he had attended a concert in person.
Commanding the task of preying on moths, Nie Tianming quietly waited for the news of victory to come.
