Chapter 64: Finding Rouge Rice
The word fate lies in this.
Following the direction of Chen Tingting's finger, Li Ming saw three green plants less than a foot tall by the pond not far away.
Turning his head, he asked the old grandson, "Is this rouge rice?" ”
The old grandson looked at it and said in surprise: "That's right, this is." ”
"Great." Li Ming hurriedly ran over and pulled out three rice seedlings from the water with the help of Chen Tingting.
As long as there is a rice seedling, Li Ming can use the spiritual liquid of the ancient tree clone to create countless rouge rice.
Seeing the irrepressible excitement on Li Ming's face, Chen Tingting held the rice seedlings in her hand and said proudly: "Look, it's right to bring me here." ”
"Bringing you here is my wisest choice." Li Ming said praisefully.
Suddenly thinking that Chen Tingting, such a fashionable little girl, would actually know Rouge Rice, Li Ming asked curiously: "How do you know that this is Rouge Rice?" ”
This is not a purple rice grain, but something that grows like a weed, and even Li Ming doesn't know it.
"You think I don't know anything, little girl, I used to farm when I was a child, at my grandfather's house." Chen Tingting was even more proud.
……
The two chatted as they continued their search.
As if the god of luck had descended, the two of them followed the reeds to find the rice seedlings of rouge rice.
Although Li Ming wanted to tell Chen Tingting that as long as there was a cochineal rice plant, the joy of the harvest made Chen Tingting forget even her tiredness.
It was not until the afternoon that the two of them stopped, looking at Chen Tingting, who was standing beside him, constantly wiping her sweat, Li Ming said gratefully: "Tingting, thank you so much today." ”
Waving her hand, Chen Tingting said indifferently: "Thank you, you saved my father and didn't let me thank you, what is my little favor for you." ”
After sitting on the bluestone and recovering his strength for a while, Li Ming said to the old grandson: "Uncle, these rouge rice found today are enough, let's go back." ”
When the old grandson heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back." ”
Looking at the current location, the old grandson suddenly said: "Let's not go back the same way, there is a small road from here that can go directly back to the village entrance, which can save an hour's time." ”
"Listen to you."
As they spoke, the three of them set out on their way home.
The narrow path is not easy to walk, and it is difficult to move forward while removing the reeds that stand in the way.
Walked for half an hour.
Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound in my ears.
Looking up, a large swarm of bees was whistling over the heads of the three people, Li Ming's eyes widened in horror, and he hurriedly pulled Chen Tingting to squat down.
If you get stung by this swarm of bees, it's no joke.
frowned and said to the old grandson: "Uncle, what kind of road are you leading here, how can there be so many bees here." ”
The old man scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I'm old, I haven't taken this road for several years, and I have forgotten about the bees here." ”
"Where's the hive?"
"Uh~, I can't remember."
Li Ming and Chen Tingting were speechless, and they didn't expect that this uncle still knew how to be humorous.
Unwilling to walk for half an hour in vain, Li Ming asked Chen Tingting to stay where she was and walked forward tentatively alone.
Bypassing the reeds in front of him, Li Ming saw that on top of a boulder, a huge beehive that was far ten times larger than the usual beehive was hanging upside down.
And the road, right next to the boulder.
Li Mingxin said: "Come on, it's been half an hour for nothing." ”
As soon as he turned his head, he found that Chen Tingting didn't know when he came to his side, Li Ming said anxiously: "Why are you here." ”
"I'm not at ease when you're alone."
Li Ming was speechless, and hurriedly pulled Chen Tingting away, thinking, this girl is too stupid and bold.
Just as Li Ming was about to leave, the buzzing sound above his head sounded again, and seeing that there was another swarm of bees, whistling like a wind monster, Li Ming hurriedly took off his shirt and covered Chen Tingting's head.
"Let's go back quickly." Li Ming said.
Chen Tingting nodded with palpitations, but seeing Li Ming protect her so much at a critical moment, her heart was still very sweet.
Looking up at the surrounding situation, all of a sudden, Li Ming noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with these bees today.
Don't stay in the hive, how do you run to the rocks.
Li Ming's eyes were far beyond ordinary people, and when he looked at it, he immediately found the reason.
It turned out that on the huge rock, countless bees stood on it and formed a circle, and in the center of the circle, seven queen bees, which were nearly twice the size of the other bees, were facing each other on the rock.
Unexpectedly, this 1 in 10 million probability could be encountered by himself, Li Ming was excited and stopped.
In the past, Li Ming loved to watch the animal world, and knew that the old queen bee in the bee colony would lay dozens of queen bee eggs before she died.
After the old queen bee dies, these bees start to wait for the new queen to be born, usually whichever queen bee is born first, they will immediately order all the other bees to kill all the remaining queen eggs.
Because, a hive, there can only be one queen bee.
However, there are times when two or three queens are born at the same time in some hives.
At this time, the bees will not listen to the opinions of either of the two, and will only stand quietly on the sidelines, watching the duel between the two queen bees.
And the queen bee of the bee, the only time in her life to use the tail needle is at this time.
When the two queen bees duel to decide the winner, the bees will listen to one of them.
Obviously, there is a small probability event today, and there will be seven queen bees born at the same time.
Just when Li Ming whispered to Chen Tingting beside him, the seven queen bees instantly fought together.
The queen bee that shows the tail needle is terrifying, and as long as one is not careful, it is possible to be pierced through the head by the opponent.
In the blink of an eye, four of the seven queen bees remained.
Duel again, and only two remained.
At this time, the remaining two queen bees were already covered in bruises, but just to survive, the two queens still rushed together.
In the final moments of the tail needle duel, one queen bee successfully pierced the head of the other with the tail needle, and the other queen bee pierced the abdomen with the tail needle.
Both were injured, the one who pierced the head died on the spot, and the one who was pierced through the abdomen, Li Ming knew, and he would not live long.
Seeing this scene, Li Ming suddenly had the idea of wanting to save this queen bee.
Li Ming felt that this queen bee would be unusual in the future, and there might be mutations.
At the end of the battle, looking at the queen bee who was seriously injured in the abdomen, the hundreds of thousands of bees on the scene were stupid, and they didn't expect that this would be the result in the end.
It turned out that the queen bee eggs in the hive had been killed, and I thought that the remaining seven could decide a queen bee, but I didn't know that the remaining queen bee was going to die.
Just when the bees were helpless, a breath of nature from the ancient wilderness rushed towards them.
Let the bees gather together in fear.
Countless pairs of eyes looked up, only to see Li Ming striding over.
Although Li Ming had not experimented with it, Li Ming had a feeling that through the small tree, Li Ming could establish contact with these bees.
Let the little tree continue to release the natural breath, Li Ming walked in front of the bees, his soul entered the ancient tree, and began to use the ancient tree to try to establish contact with the bees.
I thought it would be very difficult, but when Li Ming's soul entered the ancient tree clone, the bees in front of him actually automatically gave up the queen bee who was surrounded in the center.
And the queen bee showed a longing expression.
"Will you surrender to me?" Li Ming controlled the ancient tree and whispered.
Queen Bee nodded immediately.
There was no need for a whole drop of spiritual liquid, just using a leaf from the ancient tree, and after aiming at the queen bee, green light appeared, and the queen bee's body was immediately healed.
Let the queen bee control the bees to return to the hive, Li Ming used both hands to pluck the hive from the stone.
Then he walked back to Chen Tingting with the hive.
