It is rare to relax, Lin Zeng and Jiang Hua visited the planting base of Danube Mountain.

The vigorous and colorful giant pitcher plant in the mountainous area, hanging from large bottles, has developed a scale of nearly 1,000 plants, and is the most popular plant in the planting base.

The completion of the new building indicates that this planting base, which is far from the city, is constantly growing.

Jiang Hua is very interested in the life here, passing through the vegetable fields, walking into the undeveloped primitive mountain forest next to the base of the Danube Mountain, and the quiet path, Jiang Hua, who is experienced in the mountain forest, will always let Jiang Hua, who is experienced in the mountain forest, find some good things that grow in the forest.

It is the beginning of spring, and the climate in Nanhai Province is sunny enough, and many edible wild grasses are the season when the taste is the most tender.

The employees of the planting base, when they saw the boss who had been at home for a long time suddenly went out for a walk with his girlfriend, they all avoided it and did not come forward to disturb their two-person world.

Stepping on the twilight of dusk, back to the resort building, they were not going to eat dinner, but died in the cafeteria to ask for some food, which was used as a snack at will.

To Lin Zeng's surprise, the pink and purple praying mantis lying on his shoulder, not knowing what he was thinking, was rarely quiet and silent in the second half of the walk, not noisy or noisy.

When Jiang Hua went to the kitchen to prepare the egg soup with rice, Miss Lannie jumped from Lin Zeng's shoulder to his ear with a strong hind foot, and said in a consultative tone: "Mr. Lin Zeng, I have a good idea, discuss it with you, what do you think?"

"What's the matter, do you say?" Lin Zeng was guessing in his heart that this mantis lady didn't speak for a long time, and she was brewing some kind of ghost idea. As soon as Miss Lanny spoke at this time, Lin Zeng suddenly had the idea that this was indeed the case.

"You see, those guys who are sold as human cubs are so bad, I am really angry if I don't teach them a lesson!" Miss Lanny waved her sword angrily, and said in her special shrill voice, "That employee of yours is so useless, what a nightmare flower, it is a pity that he has only taught a few wicked people!"

"Then," Lin Zeng glanced at Miss Mantis, who flew from his ears to the front, and asked calmly, "What's your point?"

"Hehe," Miss Lannie followed the example of a human scratching her head, holding a big knife foot and gently scraping it on the lilac inverted triangular head, facing Lin Zeng's inquiry, and finally directly stated her purpose, "Mr. Lin Zeng, in the past few days, I have found a group of little praying mantises, much smarter than the little ones I raised, can you let me take this group of little guys to teach those hateful human traffickers a lesson." ”

"The newly found little one?" Lin Zeng did not directly answer Miss Lanny's words, but he was very curious about what she said about the "smart little one", "The little one you are talking about, isn't it the mantis nymph that hatched before?"

After they came to the planting base of Mount Danube, this mantis lady seemed to be a little confused about raising those stolen rare mantises, at that time Lin Zeng still wanted to help her solve, query information, a little clue, did not expect that the owner was missing, and encountered the loss of the child, Lin Zeng focused on refining the ghost and the wind grass, but I didn't know what Miss Lannie tossed outside during this time.

"No," Miss Lanny shook her wings, and saw two emerald green praying mantis jumping out of thin air in mid-air, looking a little cute, "You see, these are these two clever little ones." ”

These two praying mantises, unlike the baby mantis raised by Miss Lannie before, have a complete adult form of the praying mantis, it is slender, brightly colored, about seven centimeters long, with a triangular head, and they have a well-developed dorsal plate and limbs compared to the soft nymph form, as well as a striking, prayer-like, large knife foot with a hook.

Miss Lanny says they're little guys, but in fact, Miss Lanny is the anti-petite ones compared to them.

Two large praying mantis appeared from mid-air, and then they turned and jumped onto the dining table.

They stand silently on their tables, acting like hunters ready to go, but they don't move.

"This seems to be an ordinary praying mantis, right?" Lin Zeng observed for a long time and came to a conclusion.

These two praying mantis should be the green mantis that most often appears in the field, as if the scientific name is the Chinese giant knife mantis, which has a wide distribution range and is a field for many pests.

Lin Zeng knew so much about the fact that in the past in primary school nature class, the teacher had talked about this common species of praying mantis, and also advocated that students not catch this beneficial insect and protect it.

Although they are a common species of praying mantis, it is very rare to appear in the adult form during this season.

Because the life span of the praying mantis is only about six to eight months, it hatches in the spring, reproduces in the fall, and then dies, leaving the eggs to wait for the baby mantis to be born in the spring of the following year.

At this time, it was just early spring, and most of the praying mantis should be in the nymph stage, and these two adult Chinese giant sword mantis were obviously hatched last year.

How did they survive this winter?

If calculated according to the normal life of praying mantises, they can be regarded as the old birthday stars of the praying mantis world, right?

However, Miss Lanny is a special case, she is the elf of the mantis world.

"Yes, last fall, I saw a lot of these little guys, but none of them survived this winter, these two little guys, probably because it was very warm here, and there was no shortage of food, so they survived, but when I first found out a while ago, they couldn't move, and later, I broke a piece of the flesh of the longevity fruit and fed them to these two little guys. ”

Miss Lannie Balabala told Lin Zeng about the encounter with the two praying mantises.

"Well, now on to your plans. Lin Zeng glanced in the direction of the kitchen, Jiang Hua was still busy in the stove, so he lowered his voice and asked.

Miss Lanny leaned over, with a posture of talking about a conspiracy, and said deliberately and deeply: "I will take these two clever little fellows to find those hateful human traffickers, Mr. Lin Zeng, I promise to feed each of them a nightmare flower." ”

Miss Lanny's plan, simple and brutal, perfectly suited to her style.

"......" Lin Zeng watched her great recovery, and actually found that he could already see the excitement and anticipation in her eyes.

"And then?" Lin Zeng continued.

"Ahh

...... "Well, Lin Zeng found out that he was wrong.

It was a whimsical idea to hope that Miss Lannie would have a systematic plan for revenge.

"Mr. Lin Zeng!" Miss Lannie seemed to find that Lin Zeng's expression did not look very agreeable with her suggestion, so she got up in a hurry, pounced on Lin Zeng's nose, flapped her wings, and tried her best to persuade: "Mr. Lin Zeng, please, just once, let me go! I will definitely teach those guys a hard lesson, just once!"

"Good!"

Lin Zeng angrily covered his nose and caught the noisy Miss Mantis.

The flapping of the mantis' wings made him almost sneeze.

"Ah?" Miss Mantis, don't look at her delicate and delicate appearance, as a planting elf, she has also shed her shell twice, and her body's defense is very strong, and she doesn't care about Lin Zeng's attack at all, just as a joke. "Amazing! Long live Mr. Lin Zeng!"

Miss Lannie thought that it would take most of her effort to persuade Lin Zeng, but she didn't expect Lin Zeng to answer so simply.

"Before we go, though, there's one more thing to take care of. ”
