102. Zhou's rodent wasp
Chen Song drove away, and the four sand hill cranes immediately spread their wings and flew up, following behind the car from afar, as if the four protectors of the Dharma, and he was quite stylish in his travel.
He made a beeline for the church, which was not only a place of worship for the faithful, but also the headquarters of the town's Civic Mutual Aid Committee, of which Reverend Alex was president.
The Citizens' Mutual Aid Committee is an association of non-governmental volunteers who spontaneously carry out many public welfare activities, such as distributing turkeys to poor families on Thanksgiving, delivering daily necessities at Christmas, and releasing Zhou's rodent bees to the town every spring.
Towns and cities in Iceland carry out this charity activity in the spring, with the aim of preserving the trees that have been planted with great difficulty.
The American white moth is a kind of pest that is a headache in the five Nordic countries, their larvae are extremely serious damage to the leaves, and the fecundity is strong, if not controlled, then many trees will become like the unlucky willow tree that Chen Song encountered when he was a child, and the juvenile baldness!
When Chen Song arrived at the church, Pastor Alex was chatting with a young couple.
The man in the couple has been wiping his tears, and the woman is emotional, and the man wants to hold the woman's hand from time to time, but the woman throws him away repeatedly, so that the man's action of wiping his tears is more frequent.
Just one glance at him knew what was going on, it must be a relationship crisis, and looking at the man's performance, he knew that this was a licking dog.
In this regard, Chen Song held up Brother Dao and looked at it for a while, and then told him solemnly: "Promise me that you will never be a licking dog in the future." ”
The three of them were talking at the pulpit in the church, and Chen Song took Brother Dao to meet his mother Lilith first.
Brother Dao was so excited when he saw his mother that he rushed up and flipped it to the ground and opened his mouth to gnaw on its neck.
Chen Song subconsciously shouted: "Brother Dao, this is your mother, you can't do these things......"
Soon he realized that he had misunderstood, Brother Dao put his mouth on Lilith's neck instead of planting strawberries, but biting it!
The mother and son quickly got up and down, not the dry fire, but the dry frame.
Don't look at Brother Dao's soft-footed shrimp when facing the yin and yang cry and the sand hill crane, but he is very brave in the face of its mother, and he bites Lilith and runs away with his tail between his legs.
Chen Song hurriedly went to drag it away, but Brother Dao refused to leave, and struggled to yell at his mother: "Whoa!"
"Okay, what kind of thing can you do to bite your mother?
Seeing that Brother Dao was caught, Lilith quickly turned around and wanted to take the opportunity to bite it, but she was just as merciless as she was in her mouth.
Chen Song: o(╥_╥)o
Mother and child cannibalism!
He had no choice but to drag Brother Dao away, and waited until he entered the church, where he could still hear Lilith's angry and unwilling roar in the backyard.
The young couple's relationship problems are obviously serious and they are chattering there all the time.
Chen Song sat on the bench in the last row, there happened to be a window next to him, he enjoyed the spring breeze blowing in, and it was quite comfortable for a while.
In the afternoon, Clay ran into the church with his schoolbag after school, he sat next to Chen Song and watched the emotional mediation scene, and pretended to shake his head and said: "Alas, it's not good to touch anything, but I want to touch love." ”
Chen Song put down his phone and said disdainfully: "Aren't you the same?"
Clay tilted his head to look at him and said, "What is the same?"
"Didn't you have a little girlfriend at school?"
Clay smiled wildly: "Yes, but there is no love between us, I just use her to pass the boring time, yes, you read that right, I am such a prodigal son." ”
Chen Song touched his head with a smile and said, "To be honest, I really envy you." ”
Clay said proudly, "Do you envy my charm?
"No, so Shabi can still not know it, it's good to be young. ”
Clay glared at him and said, "Ha, you're jealous of me, aren't you?"
Chen Song touched his head again and said, "Starting tomorrow, your weekends will be gone, go to me to learn Chinese on weekends, and I will give you an assessment every week and a test every month, and the results will be handed over to your parents." ”
Clay's face turned earthy: "I'm not going!"
Chen Song turned on the player of his mobile phone, and the previous conversation between the two rang out, and when it came to Clay's sentence 'But there is no love between us, I just use her to pass the boring time', Chen Song deliberately turned up the volume.
Clay was desperate: "NO!"
It wasn't until sunset that the young couple left.
Alex breathed a sigh of relief and wiped his sweat again, a tired expression quickly appeared on his face.
He came over and shook hands with Chen Song, and the two chatted about Zhou's rodent bees.
Zhou's rodent wasps are a strange weapon to deal with moths, their parasitic rate is extremely high, no matter how hidden the location of the white moth pupates, it cannot escape their tracking; they have strong reproductive ability, a female bee can lay 680 eggs, and the ratio of offspring to male to female is huge, close to 100 to 1, and to prevent the American white moth has to rely on female bees, bumblebees are of little use.
Iceland has only introduced this wasp in the last two years to deal with the American white moth, because the Zhou's rodent wasp not only parasitizes and hunts the American white moth pupa, but also accidentally injures the native moth, and the Icelandic government has been worried that its presence will harm the native fragile biosphere.
However, the American white moth is so arrogant that it will cause serious damage to trees every year, so two years ago, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry introduced Zhou's rodent wasps and began to distribute them to various places.
Alex said, "I suggest you keep some, Estate Two has woods, and you also grow fruits and vegetables, and if American white moths get into your greenhouse, they will cause you huge problems." ”
Chen Song nodded and said, "Thank you for your suggestions, I think this is very correct, so how can I get them?"
The priest smiled, "It's very simple, you wait for me, I'll bring it to you." ”
He came back soon after a trip and took a box and handed it to him.
Chen Song opened it and saw that inside the box were several silkworm chrysalis with an opening cut at the upper end.
The pastor introduced: "This is a silkworm pupa with eggs from Zhou's rodent wasps, and when the eggs hatch, they will feed on the silkworm pupa. You go back and nail the chrysalis to the tree, and when the bees are feathered, they will fly out in search of the American white moth. ”
Chen Song asked, "Why do you use silkworm pupae? I mean can't you use the pupae of the American white moth to breed baby bees?"
The priest laughed: "Because the chrysalis is larger, and the American white moth's pupa is too small, there are too few baby bee larvae that can be raised." ”
Chen Song suddenly realized that he had gained a lot of knowledge, and left with the silkworm chrysalis, and before leaving, he pointed to Clay and said, "Starting tomorrow, I will go to learn Chinese after school." ”
Clay was devastated and devastated
Chen Song drove past the road, it was already dark at this time, the headlights flashed, and he saw a sleek sports car parked on the side of the road.
When he saw the sports car up close, he inevitably looked at it twice, but this time something happened, and there was a man next to the car pestering a woman.
Chen Song thought of the quarrelsome couple he had seen in the church earlier, could it be that the young couple had started to do it again?
