Chapter 23: Types of Grasshoppers

Lian Commander Qi whimpered like a child, and everyone's eyes were attracted to Lian Commander Qi. It turned out that Company Commander Qi's body was crawling with locusts at some point. His ears, neck, backs of hands, and ankles were crawling with locusts, and his brown body was slender and slender, wriggling there, and some of them had bulging bellies in the lower half of their bodies.

"This is a dry grasshopper, usually this grasshopper lurks in the grass, on the branches and leaves, on the mud and gravel, the brown body is similar to the bark of the tree, it is difficult to distinguish, it is difficult to spot without looking closely. When a person or animal approaches, they will get on their bodies and suck up the blood, and they will not stop until their bellies are swollen." Zhao Xiaodong is well-informed, and he knows that this locust is actually not difficult to deal with, but Company Commander Qi found it too late.

Company Commander Qi was crying while touching his face with his hands. There was blood all over his face and hands, and he ran his fingers back and forth in the hairline of his ear, and found something soft whirring, and pulled out the grasshopper that had not sucked deeply. But several locusts have been pulled out, and the half of the locusts that have been torn off are still wriggling on the ground, which is very terrifying to watch.

Zhao Xiaodong fought with locusts when he was a child and has some experience. When he was a child, he caught fish in the river, and his feet were often covered with locusts, so he was not afraid of locusts. In fact, there are many ways to get leeches down, you can pat your arms, thighs or other bitten places, and this kind of concussion will cause the leeches to fall off. It is a common method to apply thick salt water to leeches. In addition, you can also apply soapy water, e-liquid, wine, vinegar and so on on the leeche. Soon, the leeches will fall to the ground. The leech can also be eaten by fire, and if you roast it with a match, it will not be able to stand it. Don't pull it off with your hands, that's stupid. Because leeches have two suckers, it is likely that you will backfire and make it suck tighter. At the same time, hard pulling will cause its mouthparts to break under the skin, causing infection.

Now the grasshoppers have sucked deeply, and in this primeval forest they can only smoke with incense. Commander Zhao, who usually does not smoke, said to the correspondent: "Go find two cigarettes and matches." The correspondent trotted all the way and soon brought smoke and fire. Head Zhao lit a cigarette and took a puff, and the cigarette choked his face red. He settled down and asked the correspondent to help Commander Qi undress, and the scene in front of him made everyone gasp. Qi Lian's white skin turned purple, his navel eyes, and many locusts drilled into all places, and the locusts were still desperately squeezing in. Head Zhao took a lit cigarette, as if he was doing some handicraft, and carefully tapped the tail of the locust. As soon as the grasshoppers were frightened, they fell off the skin of the Qi Lian Commander one after another.

After an hour like this, Lian Chang Qi's body was full of holes, and he had already fainted. At this time, everyone present checked it, as if the other people had not found the locusts on their bodies. It turned out that the Qi Company Commander had tender skin, and when he caught the wolf, there were some scratches on his face and ankles, and he was bleeding.

After finishing the grasshoppers on Company Commander Qi's body, Regiment Commander Zhao felt a little itchy on the back of his trouser belt near his waist, and when he touched two big grasshoppers the size of a child's fist, he shrunk into a ball, and he threw the two ball-like things on the ground, and he was able to jump up a few centimeters and roll to the side, unscathed. Commander Zhao used a dagger to cut it into several sections, and each section of the large locust could wriggle.

He pointed to a few grasshoppers that were still wriggling on the ground and said: "There are more than 500 species of grasshoppers in the world, and most of the species of grasshoppers can be found in this humid primeval forest, so everyone must be careful." He felt that it was necessary to popularize the knowledge of locusts in all companies, so that everyone could treat locusts scientifically and eliminate excessive panic. So, let the correspondent inform the companies that tomorrow he would personally talk about the locusts.

Two days later, Qi Lianchang's breathing became weaker and weaker. Commander Zhao invited the doctor who accompanied the army, and the military doctor carefully examined the body of Company Commander Qi, sighed, and said: "The body is too weak, this locust is poisonous, and a few locusts have already burrowed into the body."

Regiment Commander Zhao walked back and forth there, without any way, watching the lives of his subordinates about to fall, it was really not a good feeling in his heart. At this time, Li Lan suddenly had a bold idea, she leaned close to Wang Yueyue's ear and said a few words softly, Wang Yueyue's head shook like a rattle and said: "I don't dare, hehe, I don't dare to die." Zhang Minmin heard Li Lan's words on the side and said, "I'll be with you, although my heart is a little hairy, but it is important to save my life." Then the two left, and Wang Yueyue hesitated and followed them.
