Chapter 45 Wild Honeycomb

Yesterday, when school ended, Li Jiaming, who had already called Mr. Wu, thought that he was very familiar with Shijiqu, but when he actually got into the mountains, he realized that he was completely wrong, because it was the impression that the mountain was almost bare after 20 years. Fortunately, Mao Tong and the thin dog are simple enough, and I can't see the strangeness of his expression at all.

In a trance, with a 'snap', Li Jiaming, who was holding something in his hand, almost hit his face with the branch that bounced back in front of him.

"Brother Jiaming, be careful. ”

"Well, I didn't pay attention to what I had in my hand. ”

The thin dog who walked at the back hurriedly walked in front of Li Jiaming and kindly helped him block the small branches that rebounded back.

"Brother Mao, slow down, Brother Jia Ming has something in his hand. ”

"Oh", Mao Tong, who was holding something in his hand, quickly slowed down.

What a simple and cute playmate.,Although it's a little skinny.,But as long as there's something, I'll help.,And don't be suspicious.。 This is also the reason why he still likes to play with Mao Tong and them after he began to enjoy the 'genius' treatment with Mr. Wang's approval, and it is too tiring to be with adults.

Li Jiaming followed the hairy stone and the fine dog, and drilled for a while in the dense and windless miscellaneous woods full of dead branches and leaves, and finally heard the tinkling sound of the mountain spring water, and the long past began to become clear.

It was a long, long time ago water source that supplied water to the people of the three nearby housing estates. As a bomb dropped by the Japanese, the ancient stone canal in front of it was cut off. At that time, there was no cement, and it was too difficult to dig a canal on the rock wall that was blown out by the bomb, so the ancestors of the three houses had to find a new source of water, and the Shiji Canal was gradually abandoned.

The dog, who has been taken to Xiushui to work as a small worker, is a very adventurous leather boy, who inadvertently got into this forest after a catastrophe three years ago in order to escape his father's beating. Blessed by the Bodhisattva, the bastard boy drilled in the mountains for a whole day, not only did he not lose a single hair, but also let him find the Shiji Temple and Shiji Cave in the mouth of the old people in the village. Since then, those chestnut trees have become the little secret of Li Jiaming and the four of them, and the chestnuts picked have become snacks for the four skinners and the little sister and Gui Mei, and even the adults in their respective families don't know.

After drilling in the dense and windtight woods for a long time, the three of them finally came to the edge of the woodland, and the sound of the mountain spring flowing became louder and louder. After walking along the ancient stone canal that was already covered with weeds and rattans on both sides, I saw a small temple that had collapsed under a few towering ancient camphor trees not far away. If it weren't for the fact that the small temple happened to be built on top of a boulder, I am afraid that it would have been overwhelmed by the wild ferns and wild vines that grew wantonly.

"Take a break"

"Hey"

Li Jiaming said to take a break, Mao Tong and the fine dog put down the things in their hands and sat on the edge of the stone ditch panting. With Mr. Wang's approval, Li Jiaming began to enjoy the treatment of 'genius' in school, and Mao Tong and Xigou Ling, under the pressure of their respective parents, also became his little followers, going to him every night to do homework and receive his tutoring.

In the first test after the midterm exam, the third-grade fine dog girl took the Chinese 72 and math 81 exams, Gui Mei and Jin Mei both scored double 100 points, and even Mao Tong, who was rare to pass before, also took the 68 and 72 exams, which made these two skins regard Li Jiaming as a teacher, at most, this little teacher can play together, but he must obey the business.

After resting for a few minutes, the three of them cautiously walked around the several lacquer trees in front of the boulder, and when they saw the beehive under the boulder that was more than half a meter above the ground and protruding forward, Li Jiaming couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

How many years will it take for a swarm of wild bees to build such a large hive?

The common wild beehives are mostly built on big trees, tree cavities, and cliffs, and are in the form of a round ball or a flat fan, and the largest is only a dozen or twenty centimeters in diameter, but this fan-shaped beehive more than 30 centimeters high extends thirty or forty centimeters long along the cave wall.

Looking at the wild bees buzzing in and out of the hive, Li Jiaming's scalp was a little numb. Wild bees in the mountains are much more poisonous than those in the mountains. Don't look at it now that it's winter, wild bees are not as active as spring and summer, but if one accidentally lets this group of wild bees blow up their nests, the three of them will definitely suffer a lot!

Li Jiaming is scalp is numb, and the hairy and thin dogs are very excited, if this wild honeycomb is brought down, there will definitely be twenty or thirty catties of honey in it. Before he came, Li Jiaming said that a rich man bought it at a high price, how much money can it be sold for?

"Jiaming, do you want to do it?"

"Fart! you want to die, don't you?"

Li Jiaming scolded in a low voice, dragged them back to the ancient stone canal, took a handful of cold mountain spring water and washed his face, and then said in a deep voice: "Mao Tong, fine dog, listen to me later, don't mess around." If the bees blow up the nest, we're all going to die here!"

These two skins had the painful lesson of being chased by wild bees, and immediately agreed: "I must listen to you, what you say, what we do!"

That's good, Li Jiaming arranged the task, "Wait for me to go alone, you stand here and wait." If things don't go right, you run back. ”

"What about you?"

"I'm fine, I'm wearing such a thick and helmet, and I'm stung a few times by a bee that gets into it at most, and I can't kill anyone!"

Both agreed, "Well, listen to you!"

The three of them first carefully cut down two lacquer trees blocking the way, and then cleared the dead branches and fallen leaves next to the stone cave, and piled them all up next to the beehive, so as not to cause a mountain fire. There were not many dead branches and fallen leaves next to the boulder, and after the three of them cleaned up, they went to the side to find more dead branches and fallen leaves, wet them with cold spring water, and carefully piled them under the boulder.

Seeing that it was almost over, Li Jiaming piled the dried wormwood and dried pyrethrum brought from here on a small firewood pile and lit a fire, and then retreated to the stone ditch. When the smoke was billowing under the boulder, Mao Tong and the dog helped to tie the cuffs and cuffs of Li Jiaming's cotton jacket and pants tightly with a small hemp rope, carefully checked it again, and finally put on the motorcycle helmet and leather gloves that they 'borrowed' from the fourth uncle's room.

Li Jiaming hummed in his helmet and said, "Check it again."

"Oh", the two of them checked again, and then said, "No problem." ”

"Go a little farther"

"Oh"

When Li Jiaming, who was heavily armed, came to the huge beehive with the huge urea bag and kitchen knife that had been sewn up, coughing and flowing eyes, he realized that he was really too careful.

A few minutes of smoke and fire had already caused the group of ferocious wild bees to leave the nest and buzz and hover more than ten meters above, leaving only a huge hive hanging alone on the stone wall. It's just that the smoke swept away the wild bees, and it also made Li Jiaming, who was stuffed in the helmet, so that tears and snot flowed together.

couldn't care so much, Li Jiaming quickly moved all the firewood piles that were still smoking into the small cave under the boulder, so that the smoke continued to rise from the small cave. The wild bees in the mountains are alert and stubborn, and if there is no smoke, the swarm hovering above will immediately pounce on them. If those wild bees find out that the nest is served, they may escape the catastrophe, and the hairy stones without helmets on their heads are definitely in danger!

Li Jiaming, who had snot and tears in his eyes, coughed uncomfortably and finished moving the firewood, and finally stood on tiptoe and used a kitchen knife to cut the huge beehive along the top wall of the cave.

This is also particular, the top of the hive is generally beeswax, stone honey (solid honey accumulated over many years), from here cut the hive, it is not easy to flow liquid honey. If you accidentally let the honey out and get on the outside of the urea bag or on your body, the scented wild bees will follow you like you, so much so that they will stick their dreaded tail pins into you.

Very good, very smooth, the hive was not broken a little, it was completely stripped from the cave wall by Li Jiaming, and was carefully held in his arms.

It's heavy, it's heavy!

Li Jiaming staggered around the huge honeycomb, hurriedly squatted down, carefully packed it into a urea bag lined with plastic film, and then quickly tied the mouth of the bag.

It was too heavy, Li Jiaming tried the weight, convinced that he couldn't carry it to walk. Only then did he leave the loot in place, with tears and snot in his eyes, coughing and having to make out his way through the blurry plexiglass mask, and slowly walking back step by step. If you go fast, those wild bees will definitely chase after you with the wind, which is also Li Jiaming's experience of poking the honeycomb many times.

Li Jiaming, who moved step by step, almost coughed up his lungs, finally arrived at a place where there was no smoke, and he couldn't hear the frightening buzzing sound in his ears, so he relaxed his whole body, pulled off the plexiglass mask on his helmet, sat down in the withered yellow fern bushes, and gestured in the direction of the hairy grass to let them come. Seeing that the bee swarm was still circling around the boulder, the hairy dog and the thin dog in the distance did not chase after Li Jiaming, but immediately ran over and said eagerly: "How is it?"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem!"

Li Jiaming, who had snot and eyes full of face, had already taken off his helmet, greedily took a few breaths of fresh air, and immediately untied those thin brown ropes from his body, signaling the thin dog to quickly help the hair stone tighten his cuffs and trouser legs.

"Ahem, ahem, I can't take it, you go and get it! Be careful, don't break the hive, try to be as slow as possible, you know?"

"Hmm", the hairy man replied with a humming voice in the helmet of the motorcycle, and walked into the billowing smoke.

After a while, Mao Tong, who was much taller and stronger, struggling to carry the huge urea bag in both hands, coughed and staggered out of the smoke. Li Jiaming and the fine dog immediately went up, wrapped the urea bag with a piece of plastic film, and then pierced the bag to death, so that everyone could be considered completely relaxed.

"Ahem, cough me to death!"

Mao Yan took off his helmet, his snot and eyes were full of face, not much better than Li Jiaming just now.

"Jiajiaming, there are still some stone sugar on the top of the cave that have not been scraped off, I will go back again. ”

"Don't want it", Li Jiaming grabbed the stupid boldness, and said in a deep voice: "Enough, don't be too greedy! Leave a little for the wild bees, and see if they will form nests next year?"

"Oh", Mao Yan agreed, no longer reluctant to look at the smoke.

Li Jiaming quickly pulled a rope buckle at the mouth of the bag, threaded the flat shoulder he brought, carried the big plastic bag with Mao Yan, and got into the dense and impermeable woods.

An hour later, the high-spirited Mao Tong and the thin dog returned to the village carrying a huge white urea bag, followed by a happy Li Jiaming.

"Jiaming, what is it?"

"Honeycomb!"

The whole house was boiling, and they all ran to Li Jiaming's house to see the strangeness, and when the honeycomb was poured out of the urea bag, everyone was stunned. Looking at everyone's shocked gazes, Mao Tong and Thin Dog proudly explained how the three of them got this honeycomb.

“…… Jiaming called yesterday, and that Boss Wu will come to buy it tomorrow afternoon, hehehe. ”

As soon as the two skins showed off, everyone stared at Li Jiaming, and their mothers, Aunt Hong Ying and Aunt Lian Ying, were even more eager. Such a large honeycomb has at least twenty or thirty catties of wild honey, which can be worth a lot of money.
