Chapter 5: A Feast for Worms
"Buzz-buzz-"
"Smack!"
“……”
"Buzz ......"
If Zhou Yi hates what he hates the most at this time, there are only two words "mosquito".
These mosquitoes don't bite him, but they buzz in his ears all day, and his head is inflamed.
Not only mosquitoes, but cockroaches are also a bad thing.
Especially when you get up in the morning, you put your foot in your shoes, and suddenly you find that there is a hard, cool, limb thing moving inside......
Cockroaches are not very arrogant in the Zhou family, because the chickens, ducks and geese raised at home are their natural enemies. But these poultry have no effect on the mosquitoes in the Zhou family's old house.
I don't know why, this year's mosquitoes are far more numerous and bigger than before, and they are all black, strong, and fast, and when they fly, they are small bombers.
General smoking, mugwort smoke, and even mosquito medicine do not have much effect. I don't know when these little things learned to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages -- as soon as Zhou Yi's killing trick came out, the "bombers" disappeared, and as soon as the smoke screen fell, one after another "bombers" rushed out of the clouds and mist and continued to bomb in his ears.
Zhou Yi lay on the chair weakly, his head kept turning - the mosquitoes were not so fierce before, why is this?
After thinking about it for a long time, he only thought of one thing, the blue spring water in the space.
He usually eats and drinks with the spring water in the space, and it is inevitable that he will not be able to eat it and pour it out, which may have promoted the growth and evolution of these mosquitoes.
When he thought of the springs and the mosquitoes, he suddenly remembered that not only mosquitoes, but also geckos, dragonflies, cockroaches, and all kinds of other small insects around him were also infested much more frequently, and they were much more robust and agile than he had seen before.
There are also a lot of crabs, loaches, small fish and shrimp in the ditch in front of the door, one by one, which is called a smart; Crabs, in particular, crawl all over the ground and often run to the door of his kitchen, but often can't escape the fate of becoming food for the three white geese guarding the house.
Zhou Yi was smoked by the feces of chickens, ducks and geese, and at the same time, he discovered for the first time how useful it was for him to raise these little things, otherwise, he shuddered when he thought of the crabs crawling all over the kitchen and running out of nowhere.
Zhou Yi thought of the key point of the mosquito's change, and the spiritual spring at the tip of his fingers slowly overflowed, dripping onto the windowsill and flowing down along the windowsill.
Mosquitoes, who have already tasted the taste of the spring water, seem to be particularly sensitive to the smell of the spring water.
The mosquitoes near the windowsill seemed to smell something, approached slowly, searched for it, and finally decisively stopped on the watermark on the windowsill - Zhou Yi couldn't tell if they were eating something, but he could imagine it.
At this moment, a yellow-green gecko suddenly ran out of the crack in the wall, stretched out its tongue, ate all the mosquitoes on the watermark, and then licked it on the watermark by itself.
The watermark was licked, but the gecko didn't give up, it actually climbed onto Zhou Yi's chair, turned around, and licked a few drops of spring water that fell on the chair, and then the zigzag pupils looked straight at Zhou Yi, tilted its little head, as if thinking about something, and not long after, I saw its upper body stand up, and its two front paws were closed, as if it was bowing-
"Wow - this is all a refinement!"
Zhou Yi felt that he was "fertilized".
He'd only heard that monkeys, dolphins, and gorillas had a good IQ, and that some puppies could also have some anthropomorphic behavior, but geckos, with so big heads, were they still so human—was it really fine?
Zhou Yi tried to send some space spring water to a small plastic bucket next to him.
Sure enough, the gecko, the size of a finger, flicked its long tail, jumped out, jumped directly from the chair to the small bucket, splashed a small splash of water, swam happily in it, and occasionally some mosquitoes ran to the water, which became his best meal.
The appearance of the little gecko gave Zhou Yi a way, that is, to make animals with animals, or to make animals with plants.
He deliberately used the spring water to raise dragonflies, geckos, and bats that often appear at night, not to mention the chickens, ducks and geese at home.
On the other hand, he ordered some mosquito repellent and mosquito-eating plants on the Internet, although he couldn't eat many mosquitoes every day according to the mosquito-eating plants mentioned in the "evaluation", but he still wanted to try it, maybe there would be a miracle in cultivating it in the space?
Plants are much easier to care for than animals.
The plants ordered online have not yet arrived, and the planted peach saplings have encountered ** annoyance in the process of vigorous growth - on the trunk, aphids and ants nest; On the leaves, the long green worms hung down, and overnight, they gnawed half of the peach leaves, and some of them were so powerful that they made holes in the branches of the trees; As for all kinds of other small animals, Zhou Yi is no longer able to pay attention to them.
The peach tree has already bloomed, sparsely pulled, I don't know when, it actually attracted a group of wasps to build a nest, not seen for a day, the honeycomb has been half the size of a human head.
"Hornets don't make honey-" Zhou Yi thought at first that the peach blossoms had attracted the wasps, but looking at the little insects that were only plagued by the wasps, he knew what these guys were here to do - evil insects and evil insects grinding!
But Zhou Yi was not prepared to leave this group of evil insects, including those wasps.
He bought some insecticides and sprayed them from tree to tree; And then there are the wasps, which are smoked with wet wood, and after a while, they are picked and burned by the hive.
Things are far from being as optimistic as Zhou Yi imagined.
Within a few days of the insect medicine, another wave of insects emerged; This time, the insect tide was even more turbulent and dense, and it made Zhou Yi's scalp tingle.
"Can you save it?" Zhou Yi looked at the devastated peach trees and asked in his heart.
Even he himself is a little unconfident.
He knew that this insect plague was definitely caused by long-term watering with spiritual spring water. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for so many bugs to break out after he had just finished taking the insect medicine.
Zhou Yi looked at the chickens, ducks and geese that were sprinkling joy, and kept pecking at the insects on and under the trees - he never knew that crazy ducks could also go up the trees......
Zhou Yi didn't know if the peach saplings could be saved, but those hateful insects were absolutely damned!
He looked at the enthusiastic chickens and ducks, and a thought came to him: why not just raise more?
Hey, the feed is there, too!
