1072.Bamboo Tractor (3/5)

Seeing that the second wolf deduced the bamboo, Lao Ao felt incredible.

Bamboo is full of toughness, the ancients liked to use this as a metaphor, many poems with this as the title, such as the snow pressure bamboo head is low, low want to get mud, a round of red day, still with the sky.

With the strength of Wolf Er, he may be able to deduce the small withered tree, but it is impossible to say that he can deduce the bamboo.

Ao Muyang went over to check, and his coat pocket and belly pocket crawled from his trouser leg to his body with a scream, looking frightened.

Climbing on his shoulder, the little marmoset squeaked and began to complain, while reaching out for a kiss and hug.

Lao Ao doesn't care about them, these two little things have been getting more and more naughty recently, so they should be taught a lesson by Wolf Er.

Seeing that the expected caress did not appear, the little marmoset got angry, grabbed Ao Muyang's ears and gently shook and tore them, and the squeaking sound became more and more miserable.

Ao Muyang grabbed the loudest trouser pocket and threw it to Wolf Er, who pressed it to the ground with his paws, and saw that this coat pocket was honest, so he quickly got into the pocket of Lao Ao's jacket.

There is broken bamboo on the ground, Ao Muyang picked it up and took a look, the outside of the bamboo is still a little green, but the bamboo wall inside has been gnawed away, and some fat white insects can be seen in some holes intermittently.

Bamboo insects!

Unlike other insects, bamboo insects are most active in autumn and winter during their vigorous growing season, from October to February, because they are hidden in bamboo tubes, so they are not afraid of cold weather.

Seeing these bamboo insects, Ao Muyang counted them, there were too many bamboo insects in this bamboo, and the bamboo trunk had been gnawed into a thin layer, so Wolf Er shook it vigorously and deduced it.

He cut down the bamboo pole, and finally cut it all the way to the root of the bamboo, revealing more bamboo insects inside, most of which had already formed pupa, and a bunch of white fat insect pupae piled up in the roots, densely packed and numerous.

Ordinary people feel disgusted when they see this scene, but Lao Ao feels appetizing, bamboo insects are the best quality of edible insects, and bamboo insect pupae are the same as silkworm pupa, and the taste is better.

When he saw these bamboo insects and insect pupa, he stopped digging winter bamboo shoots, but instead found a bag to collect insects and insect pupa.

Bamboo insects are very damaging to bamboo, they eat young bamboo shoots to absorb nutrients, usually parasitic in the bamboo tube, eat from the tip of the bamboo section by section, and finally hide in the roots and become pupae, and can break out of the pupa in spring.

The harm of this thing to bamboo is year-round, they are harmful to bamboo from beginning to end, first the adult lays eggs at the position of the bamboo shoots, and the larvae are attached to the bamboo tubes of the twigs after hatching, and they are very particular about eating from May to mid-September, they are very particular, do not eat bamboo directly, but absorb bamboo liquid.

There are some bamboos in the bamboo forest that have yellow patches on the outside, that is the record of bamboo insect larvae, once the yellow patches are connected into a piece, then basically the bamboo will be scrapped.

In addition, as the larvae grow, the yellow patches of the bamboo will gradually expand into the gall, and they will burrow into the bamboo from the beginning of September, and start to eat from the top to the bottom, and pupate and overwinter after eating and drinking.

And these bamboo insects are very cunning, they specialize in dealing with those young bamboos that are less than two years old, once they are allowed to flood into patches, the bamboo forest is basically extinct.

It is not easy to deal with bamboo insects, they are small and good at concealment when they are eggs and larvae, and it is difficult to detect, and when they grow fat and fat into pupae, at this time they hide in the pillar, and they cannot be searched.

In fishing villages, the only way to deal with bamboo insects is to find small holes in the bamboo, stuff the barbs into them and drag them out, so that there is a chance that the bamboo insects inside can be hooked out.

But the efficiency of this is too low, that is, when Lao Ao was a child, every household lacked food, and the children had nothing to do, so they would come together to hook the bamboo worms home and let the adults burn them to eat.

Yes, it is not fried in oil, but roasted in a fire, put into a bamboo board and grilled with a flame, because bamboo insects are rich in fat, so even if they are not fried, they are very fragrant.

Seeing so many bamboo insects in the bamboo, Ao Muyang caught them all, and then he looked for bamboo insects in the bamboo forest, and he had to take advantage of the dry bamboo in this season to catch the bamboo insects as much as possible.

He searched the bamboo forest, looking for the bamboos with many holes in the outside.

Found such a bamboo or a bamboo with a gall, he will break the bamboo, the bamboo with too many parasitic bamboo insects will definitely die in the next year, so it doesn't matter if it is broken at this time, and even they should be broken to catch the bamboo insects, otherwise the bamboo insects will pupate and cause greater damage to the bamboo forest.

He broke the bamboo from the bottom of the root, and then dragged it to the open space outside to pile it up together, and then went back to collect all the pupa at the root, and tonight he was going to eat the fire roasted pupae, which was the taste of childhood.

In this way, he is slow to do it alone, and he has to dig winter bamboo shoots, and after thinking about it, he mobilized several hairy children together.

He went to look for the bamboo shoots in his coat and trouser pockets, and when he found them, he squeaked and signaled to him, and the general and the wolf helped him drag the broken bamboo outside for concentration.

As for the second wolf, this old Ao can't count on it, he asked the second wolf to drag the bamboo, and the second wolf dragged one without a trace, maybe go to the depths of the bamboo forest to play the game of Lang riding a bamboo horse.

He was busy until noon, and this busy work made him so busy that his thermal underwear was already soaked with sweat, so he took off his coat, and suddenly there was heat coming out, like steamed steamed buns.

When it was time for lunch, he tied up the bamboo with weeds and vines, and was about to drag it home, when the deer Wuxian cried: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, where are you? Are you here? Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, it's time to go home and eat." ”

Hearing his shout, Ao Muyang responded, even if this kid has a conscience, he still knows to call him home to eat when it comes to dinner.

Lu Wuxian ran over and said, "Brother-in-law, why are you still on the mountain? What time is it, let's go, go home and cook." ”

"What? Didn't you tell me to go home for dinner?"

"That's right, go home and eat, but you have to cook first, let's go, you go back to cooking, Lao Jiang and I are going to starve to death!"

Ao Muyang was so angry, he wanted to praise this kid for having a conscience just now, but in fact, he really thought too much, how can this thing have a conscience?

He stuffed the bamboo to Lu Wuzhi and said, "Okay, I'll go home and cook, you drag all the bamboo back for me, drag it slowly and be careful, there are bamboo insects in it, if you drop it for me, you don't want to eat today!"

Looking at the tall bamboos piled up together, Lu Wuyi's eyes suddenly widened: "Brother-in-law, what are you doing?

"Don't worry about it, give me a lot of one to drag back anyway. Ao Muyang left this sentence, and walked down the mountain by stepping up the bamboo basket, and Lu Wuyi screamed behind him: "Don't, brother-in-law, don't let me do this work by myself, there are too many bamboos!"

"Not much, do a good job, I have confidence in you, come on Smecta!"
