"When I was in the countryside, there were a lot of locusts in the paddy fields, and they were most afraid of vinegar. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Shoko said hurriedly.

It turns out that Uncle Hai usually pays the most attention to maintenance, and has the habit of smoking hookah, his ancestors are Jin merchants, old stars in Shanxi, like to be jealous, so let Xiangzi carry a bag of fruit vinegar for him thousands of miles away, on the one hand, this fruit vinegar can be healthy, has the effect of softening blood vessels and clearing tobacco toxins, on the other hand, he also loves to drink this thing.

After hearing this, Uncle Hai scolded: "Damn, little Wang Ba Lamb, Lao Tzu has fed you for nothing, what kind of bad idea do you have, I can't do without fruit vinegar, don't fight this idea, hurry up and carry me out." ”

As he was talking, a grasshopper suddenly bounced on Uncle Hai's leg and stomach, Uncle Hai screamed "ah", and fell off Xiangzi's back with a shake, Xiangzi hurriedly supported Uncle Hai, and hurriedly slapped Uncle Hai's leg and stomach, trying to shoot the grasshopper out, but it may be that the locust drilled too deep and couldn't shoot it, Xiangzi was in a hurry, and actually sucked Uncle Hai's wound with his mouth, and even sucked and patted, and it was easy to get the grasshopper out.

I was very moved when I saw it, thinking that Xiangzi is really a real person, Uncle Hai treated him like that, he was not jealous at all, but tried his best to help him, which is really a stark contrast to Uncle Hai.

At the same time that Xiangzi helped Uncle Hai deal with the locusts, Xiaopang and Zhang Meng didn't care whether Uncle Hai agreed or not, and opened the bag containing fruit vinegar, and sure enough, it was full of bottles of fruit vinegar. Xiaopang hurriedly took out two bottles, bit off the caps of the bottles one by one, and poured the fruit vinegar in the direction where the locusts were coming.

Xiangzi's local method really worked, it was immediate, and those grasshoppers fled back in a hurry as soon as they smelled the fruit vinegar, and the wave of grasshoppers rolled back a meter away.

Zhang Meng had bad teeth, and he didn't bite the cap of the bottle for a long time, so he simply used the glass bottle as a grenade. One hand was thrown at the swarm of grasshoppers, but I didn't expect this trick to be even more effective, after the glass bottle shattered, the vinegar spread out in the swarm of grasshoppers, and the swarm of grasshoppers retreated frantically as if stimulated.

Uncle Hai suffered from the locusts, and he couldn't care about his fruit vinegar. I didn't stop it. Lao Zhang and I also followed Zhang Meng's example, picked up the fruit vinegar bottle and smashed it at the swarm of grasshoppers, and the tide of grasshoppers withdrew from the house after a while.

"Save a little use, don't throw it away when the locusts are back, just in case. Chubby said.

We took the fruit vinegar and followed it outside, only to see a swarm of black locusts spread all over the courtyard in front of the house, like the tide of the sea, quickly retreating.

A strange sight occurred, and the retreating swarm of locusts rushed to the bones of the fallen corpse. Quickly wrapped the bones of the corpse, attached to the bones in a clump, as if adding flesh and blood to the bones, the bones attached to the locusts slowly stood up from the ground, like people standing, forty or fifty "people" slowly walked towards the qanats, one by one climbed down from the mouth of the qanats.

We stood outside, stunned by the strange sight. couldn't believe his eyes, even the well-informed Xiaopang and Lao Zhang were shocked for a long time without speaking.

How could this happen? The locusts seemed to use the bones as a tool. It's like having a leader and a conductor to control the bones.

But if I think about it, it is not impossible for such an incredible phenomenon to exist in the magical natural world, such as the hermit crab, which has learned to use conch shells to cover itself in order to defend itself against enemies. The use of bones by this swarm of locusts may be similar to the principle of hermit crabs, and this phenomenon is gradually and instinctively produced out of the need for their own survival.

We don't care about talking about this now, after all, we are not doing scientific research. After the locusts had receded, we returned to the house and saw that it was a mess. Backpacks, clothing, and belongings were scattered all over the ground, and there were some dead locusts on the ground.

Xiangzi picked up a dead locust and looked at it, and said, "Strange, this locust is not the same as ordinary grasshoppers. ”

"How is it different?" Zhang Meng approached Xiangzi and looked at the locust with Xiangzi.

"This locust is larger than the average locust, and it is black, while the average locust is earthy yellow. Shoko said.

", there's another one alive here", Chubby sorted out his backpack and suddenly found that there was another live locust, and trampled the locust to pieces with one kick.

Trampled locusts exude a black-green liquid.

"Damn, what's the smell?" I was not far from Chubby, and I smelled a strange smell from the trampled locust, rancid and rancid.

Xiaopang seemed to suddenly remember something, and didn't answer, but took out the "Tomb Robbery Manual" written by his uncle Wang Fatzi from his backpack, and looked at it carefully.

"These locusts seem to be equipped with detection radars, why are they specifically attacking us?" Zhang Meng asked.

"What's so strange about that. Lao Zhang interjected on the side: "When I was young, I cut the queue in the countryside, and there are this thing everywhere in the paddy fields, when people walk through the paddy fields, those grasshoppers will poke out accurately and quickly crawl in the direction of the person, and they will be sucked by it without paying attention, according to an old teacher who cut the queue with us, this locust is found to suck the target by heat induction, it is very sensitive, and it is said that it is much more powerful than the dog's nose." ”

"But there is one thing very strange", Xiangzi still carefully looked at the locust in his hand, and said: "This thing is generally grown in the paddy fields in the south, how can there be locusts in such an arid place as the desert, and this locust is different from ordinary locusts in addition to its size and color. ”

"Where is it?" Zhang Meng asked.

"There seems to be a pattern behind this locust. Shoko said puzzled.

When Lao Zhang heard Xiangzi say this, he also pinched a dead locust and looked at it carefully, and said, "Hey, that's right, there are indeed patterns." As he spoke, he took the locust closer and looked at it with a flashlight: "No, it's not a pattern, it seems to be a word." ”

Everyone was surprised to hear Lao Zhang say this, there were words on the back of the locust?

Zhang Meng and I hurried to Lao Zhang's side and looked at the locust carefully. I saw that under the flashlight, there were indeed some things like patterns on the back of the locust, and if you distinguish them carefully, they do look like some Chinese characters.

"Su-Zi-Wen. "I finally made out the words on the locust's back.

"It seems to be a person's name!" Zhang Meng said in surprise.

"Well, it does look like a person's name," said Lao Zhang, picking up another dead locust with the same words on its back.

"This, are these locusts the same as the little jade Buddha engraved with my name, and they are also used as a medium to fly down and descend?" I thought of the little jade Buddha engraved with my name. Turning his head and whispering to Chubby.

Chubby still looked at the "Tomb Robbery Manual", carefully read the text on it, frowned, and just shook his head when I asked him.

I rarely see Chubby take it so seriously, whenever Chubby is serious. There must be something important.

We looked at these locusts carefully, puzzled by the patterns on their bodies, and guessed all kinds of possibilities.

After a while, Xiaopang seemed to have finished reading the records on the "Tomb Robbery Manual", and also picked up a grasshopper to look at it carefully, and said, "These are not grasshoppers. ”

"What? Not a locust? What is that?" everyone's eyes focused on Fat almost at the same time, and asked in unison.

"These are 'corpse locusts'! The fluid that flows from their bodies smells of rotting corpses. They are different from ordinary locusts, they survive by sucking on the flesh and blood of carrion, animal and human carrion!" replied Chubby.

"But we are alive. Why are they attacking us?" asked Shoko.

"Maybe it's because I want to try it, or maybe it's an anomaly due to the lack of food. But most of the time, the locusts are attached to the carrion. Chubby explained.

When I heard Xiaopang say this, I remembered that there was another such corpse locust that burrowed into my body just now, and I was disgusted with nausea, Zhang Meng and Uncle Hai were even more scared, and hurriedly asked Xiaopang if this thing was poisonous and whether it would be harmful to the body.

Xiaopang did not answer Zhang Meng and Uncle Hai's questions. He carefully shone a flashlight on the text-like pattern on the back of the corpse locust, and said, "It seems that this text is not engraved. Rather, it was born into it, and judging from the fact that there were so many corpse locusts in this arid place, and that the corpse locusts all had the same text on their backs, there was only one possibility. ”

"What is possible?"

"These corpse locusts are raised!"

"Damn, you little lamb, it doesn't matter if it's raised by man or born. You haven't answered me yet, are these things called corpse locusts poisonous?" Uncle Hai didn't care about the origin of these corpse locusts, only cared about whether they had an impact on the body, and scolded on the side.

"Well, it's not just toxic. And toxic, especially toxic. Xiaopang seemed to be deliberately angry with Uncle Hai, and said unhurriedly.

Uncle Hai and Zhang Meng were scared when they heard Xiaopang say this, and Uncle Hai hurriedly asked, "What is the harm to the body?"

Chubby deliberately sighed and said, "Alas, it's over." Once they penetrate into the body of a living person, as soon as they come into contact with the blood, the corpse poison will be released, even if they get the corpse locust out of the body, it will not help, the corpse poison will still remain in the wound, and it will spread over time, and then ......"

"And then?" Uncle Hai and Zhang Meng asked impatiently.

"Then the person infected with the corpse poison will turn into a zombie!"

When Uncle Hai heard Xiaopang say this, he almost fainted, Zhang Meng was also dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked, "Is there a way to crack the corpse poison?"

Xiaopang pondered for a while and said, "There is a way, but it is difficult for ordinary people to accept." ”

When Uncle Hai and Zhang Meng heard that there was a way to crack the corpse poison, they immediately came to their senses again, and Uncle Hai hurriedly asked: "You little Wang Ba Lamb, don't sell Guanzi, what method do you say?"

I've been bitten by corpse locusts before, so I'm listening carefully.

Xiaopang said: "Although the corpse poison carried by this corpse locust is not as toxic as zongzi, if you want to crack it, you can't use ordinary detoxification methods, and you must 'fight poison with poison'." ”

"How do you fight poison with poison?" I asked.

"According to the "Tomb Robbery Manual", a person who has been poisoned by a corpse locust must anoint his whole body with salt water or vinegar or spirits, without the slightest omission, and then use cotton or rags soaked in salt water or vinegar or liquor to block his ears, nose, mouth, and anus, blindfold, protect the seven orifices, and expose the wounds bitten by the corpse locusts. The smell of vinegar and liquor will disperse after smelling, and only the corpse locust near the wound will burrow into the body along the original wound, because the wound has been infected with corpse poison before, the smell of nearby flesh is the same as that of a dead corpse, and the corpse locust that burrows into the body will no longer release corpse poison, but will suck the infected flesh and blood. The reason why the corpse locust itself will not be infected by the corpse poison is because it naturally produces an antibody in its body, and the corpse locust will instinctively release this antibody substance while sucking the flesh and blood of the carrion, and when it is about half a minute or so, the corpse locust will force the corpse locust that has penetrated into the wound out of the body, and the antibody material released by the corpse locust will remain in the body, so that the corpse poison that was previously infected can be dissolved.
