Chapter 935: Demon Flower Mantis
Unlike Lin Zeng and Jiang Hua, who were in a happy mood and had achieved great results in research and creation, Miss Lanny, who was on her first trip in her life, was in a less and less good mood.
Miss Lanny, who is ready to be a perfect mother, is worried about the little praying mantis who are getting bigger and bigger in the childcare space.
It's not that she's not doing enough, she's doing too much.
Naturally growing praying mantises, there is never a mother mantis by their side to take care of them, they must learn to forage for food, learn to protect themselves, learn to hunt, and even fight each other in order to survive.
However, these little praying mantis who were kept in the mantis dormitory were confined to a narrow space, eating the fat bread worms that Lin had bought for Miss Lanny.
During this time in the Huiming Mountain Tea Garden, watching these lively little praying mantis getting bigger and bigger, Miss Lannie finally made a decision - to bring these little guys to Lin Zeng.
Therefore, at dinner, Lin Zeng and Jiang Hua smiled and took out the special dishes they had just ordered in the Huimingshan Farmhouse from the packing box, and set the table in the hotel to prepare for an appetizing meal.
Lin Zeng's face darkened, and his fingers grabbed the chopsticks violently, eager to jerk a few times at Miss Lannie's inverted triangular head.
It's unreliable, little praying mantis!
I'd better wait until they're done eating!
"I'll get them out. Lin Zeng inhaled, Lin Zeng exhaled, Lin Zeng put down his chopsticks, and said to Jiang Hua with a somewhat distorted expression.
Please believe him, ordinary people at the dinner table, when they see hundreds of small praying mantis that have not yet grown wings, they will definitely not see where they look better than him.
What is helpless is that the temper of his painting sister sitting at the dinner table has never been an ordinary person.
She was not at all intimidated by the swarm of praying mantis jumping in through the window, but instead focused on a small green mantis lying next to her.
"Eh, wait!" Noticing that Lin Zeng really planned to get these little guys away, Jiang Hua hurriedly grabbed the hem of Lin Zeng's shirt.
"Tear it up!"
Jiang Hua reacted too quickly for a while, his arm was too strong, and the fragile hem of Lin Zeng's shirt was instantly torn off a strip of cloth.
"......" Lin Zeng looked at Jiang Hua expressionlessly.
"Uh, ha, ha, that ha," Jiang Hua smiled very awkwardly as he held the torn shirt fabric in his hand.
"Poofha!!" Lin Zeng could no longer control his expression, wearing a torn shirt, and laughing uncontrollably at the wall.
"Hey, don't do this!" Jiang Hua rolled his eyes helplessly and explained, "Actually, I saw that the appearance of these little mantis was a little special, and I wanted to take a few photos and study it." ”
"Hahaha," Lin Zeng still laughed wildly, his abdominal muscles trembling, "Okay, okay, I know, welcome to tear, tear whatever you want." ”
"......" What should I do if I suddenly want to make a fist?
After some laughter, Jiang Hua also took pictures of this batch of praying mantises, and Lin Zeng took the inexplicable Miss Lannie to the balcony of their room and asked her why she made this scene.
"I, I don't think they're happy. Miss Lanny stood on the iron railing of the balcony, holding her sword foot high, in a posture of prayer, with an aura of sorrow all over her body.
As far as Lin Zeng knew, the praying mantis clan's seemingly prayerful posture was actually staring at its prey and was about to start hunting. At this time, coupled with her complaining language, it made him feel very disobedient and weird.
"Eh," Lin Zeng silently put aside his head, with his brain cells, it was difficult to answer this kind of question full of literary films, and after thinking for a long time, he could only ask straightly, "Eh, what's the situation?"
"......" Miss Lannie's big compound eyes stared at Lin Zeng for a while, and then put down the big knife foot, "I don't think they like the Orchid House dormitory I designed for them." ”
"Then do you want to change to a suite?Or a duplex villa?" Lin Zeng felt that the female mantis's mind was also difficult to guess, and it was much more than his girlfriend to deal with, and Jiang Hua was more straightforward!
It's really tiring to raise an emotional planting elf.
Miss Lanny chatted with Lin Zeng for a few words, but found that the owner of the wood pimple was difficult to help her solve the problem, so she could only take this group of little praying mantis listlessly, and Lin Zeng didn't even want to prepare the fried tenderloin for dinner, flapped her wings, and flew to the tea garden to relax.
Lin Zeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Unraveling Miss Mantis's inexplicable emotions is really not something he's good at. He would rather make her a complex heart-patterned meat slice flower.
"Ah Zeng, look," Lin Zeng had just returned to his position and sat down, Jiang Hua came up to him with his mobile phone and said, "These varieties of little praying mantis are really not simple!"
"What? I know Miss Lannie is an orchid mantis, but what else is it?" Lin Zeng sandwiched a piece of local chicken stewed chestnuts bought from the farmhouse, and found that the taste was far inferior to the lavender chicken that Jiang Hua raised on the farm, and it did not have that light floral fragrance that was pleasant to the taste buds.
Jiang Hua pulled up the photo album on his mobile phone, pointed to a praying mantis nymph with the largest body parked in the corner of the table and said: "I just asked a scholar who studies insects on the encyclopedia knowledge network, he happened to be online, and he judged from the photo that this should be a very rare and rare big magic flower mantis." It is the largest breed of predatory praying mantis, mainly distributed in the African region, and is expensive in the special pet market, costing thousands of yuan each. ”
This nymph of the magic flower mantis looks very conspicuous in the corner of the table. Not only because it was taller than the other praying mantises, but also because of its well-defined and sharp appearance, in the eyes of Miss Lannie, who was accustomed to seeing the beauty, she could not appreciate its appearance at all, and always felt that it was a little ugly.
Jiang Hua saw Lin Zeng's expression and knew that he didn't have much concept of this mantis species, so he used his mobile phone to retrieve the picture of the magic flower mantis on the Internet and showed it to Lin Zeng.
"You see, the magic flower mantis is known as the head of the 'three flowers' of the praying mantis, enjoys the title of 'king of the praying mantis', the male has a gorgeous appearance and a colorful body, Professor Zhou told me that this is the most difficult breed of the praying mantis to be raised in captivity, and it needs to be carefully cared for in the process of breeding. Jiang Hua seemed to be very interested in this weird-looking praying mantis, and while chatting with Professor Zhou in her mouth on her mobile phone, she said with great interest, and even forgot to eat the special farm dishes on the table.
Lin once thought of the owner of the pet shop who was stolen, and it probably took a lot of effort to buy this rare breed of praying mantis, right?
However, in Lin Zeng's opinion, these little praying mantis are raised by Miss Lanny, they have a good appetite and a good body, and they don't look like they are difficult to raise, I don't know if Miss Lanny herself is the reason why she is a praying mantis.
"Unlike raising cats and dogs, the cycle of raising praying mantis is very short, the male magic flower mantis only has nine months, and the female will grow a little, I also just checked the information and found that the life cycle of the orchid mantis is very short, only three months. Jiang Hua glanced at Lin Zeng and said.
Lin Zeng was not worried about what Jiang Hua said.
Miss Lannie is not an ordinary orchid mantis, she is a planting elf, and she has been bouncing for longer than any ordinary person on earth.
"Don't worry. Lin Zeng shook his head, sandwiched a piece of fat chicken wings between Jiang Hua, put it in her mouth, and said, "Don't worry, Miss Lanny is a special orchid mantis." ”
