Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Surprising Number of Vegetable Insects and Chickens
In the bucket that can hold thirty catties of water, there are half a bucket of cabbage insects and small green worms, and one by one the large and small insects with fat and strong, unusual and colorful green and yellow colors are densely packed in the bucket, surging back and forth, and Yunyi's scalp is numb for a while!
Thirty pounds of buckets, half buckets of insects are ten pounds, what a terrifying number; Presumably, many old dealers have never caught so many bugs at one time.
"Big brother, why are there so many bugs in this vegetable field?" Hurriedly returning the bucket to the eldest girl's father, Yun Yi took two steps back, he was really a little nervous about this dense thing.
"This is just two vegetable ridges to catch so many, if the whole vegetable field more than 70 ridges of vegetables are all caught, I don't know how many insects will be in the road!" The eldest girl's father frowned, he had been working in the fields for thirty years, and this was the first time he had encountered so many insects, and it was the first time he had heard of them.
"Big brother, it seems that when we were selling vegetables the day before yesterday, we didn't find that the vegetables were gnawed by insects, right?" Yunyi looked at the vegetable field a little strangely, why didn't so many insects find signs before?
Before, he knew that his vegetable patch had a lot of spring water, and compared with ordinary grass and crops, there might be abnormalities, but since he planted vegetables for more than 20 days, he didn't notice that there were many insects.
"Yes, I saw more than a dozen insects on a trip to the vegetable ridge yesterday morning, and there were a hundred and ten in the afternoon, and this morning..."
After listening to the words of the eldest girl's father, after calculating the days of growing vegetables, Yun Yi guessed the reason why the insects were like this.
One: When the vegetable seedlings grow, a large amount of space water watered by themselves has a promoting effect on the plants, for example, there are a lot of grasses in the field, and the eldest girl's father pulls weeds in the ground all day long; It also has a strong attraction to insects (animals), which can be demonstrated by the use of spatial spring water to attract pheasants and hares.
Two: the insects crawl slowly, and there is no grass around, so there are no large numbers of insects crawling at first; But after a long time, the insects crawled slowly and crawled over, so since yesterday, there have been more insects, and the growth rate has been geometric.
"It seems that the space spring water is not all good, and there are also bad sides!" Yun Yi secretly worried in his heart, so many insects could not use pesticides except for hiring more people to catch them.
"What's the deal, which bastards wrote the Drift Farming novel in the first place, and they didn't even take into account the problem of insect pests!" After a few words of psychological abuse, Yunyi went home after greeting the eldest girl's father, ready to find a way on the Internet.
When I got home, I checked the Internet for a long time, and Yunyi was browsing a news item about 'raising free-range chickens in mountain woodlands', and thought of a solution to the pest - raising pheasants in the vegetable field.
Breeding pheasants, will eat a large number of insects in the vegetable field, if you raise 300 pheasants in six acres of vegetable fields, according to a chicken a day two taels of food, a day is 60 pounds of insects.
Sixty catties of insects a day, ten days is six hundred catties, no matter how many insects there are in the ground, it will not exceed six hundred catties, and it will be eaten cleanly. The small insects born on the seedlings will be eaten before they are slightly larger and can cause great harm to the seedlings; And the big bugs crawling from the surroundings believe that they will not escape the attacks of the chickens, the pheasants that eat the insects, and the fighters among the pheasants!
Moreover, the protein of the farmed pheasants can be much higher, which is not one or two layers higher than the quality of the so-called pheasants fed by the farmers, which is an additional income
The next morning, Yun Yi got up and ate something at random, went into the western utility room to find some things such as a mountain knife and a basket, plus the backpack he carried when he came to the small mountain village, and went into the mountain in full gear.
On the mountain at seven o'clock in the morning, although the fog dispersed, there were still some remnants in the mountain forest, making the mountain forest blurry and hazy from time to time; And the moisture in the mountains and forests that looked wet because of the fog soon made Yun Yi's clothes wet.
Carrying a mountaineering bag that was not easy, Yunyi walked very easily, thanks to the space for a period of time to recuperate Yunyi's body, so that Yunyi no longer had as much effort to climb the mountain as when he first came.
After walking for about half an hour, the road ahead was probably blocked by some vines because the village was far away and few people stepped on it.
These vines had been cut down once when Yun Yi came to the mountain last time, and now they have only grown new from the mountain for more than twenty days.
Chopping down the vines all the way and coming back to the place where he hunted pheasants last time, Yunyi released a large amount of spatial spring water from the space, and mixed a little anesthetic into the spring water.
The reason why the anesthetic was added was because last time Yunyi attracted so many pheasants, they all flew away, and this time it took a lot, so there was no need to let them go.
Lying behind the bushes last time, Yunyi quietly waited for the pheasant to step into the trap automatically.
Five minutes later, when Yun Yi was a little impatient, a pheasant with bright feathers cautiously walked into the open space sprinkled with space spring water, and carefully drank the space spring water everywhere on the ground.
As if a signal, in less than ten minutes after the pheasant entered the clearing, thirteen, thirty, four pheasants 'fluttered' their wings and fell from the sky, competing for the space spring on the ground.
Look at them eagerly pecking at the spring water, as if the spring water is some kind of elixir and jade liquid.
After a few more minutes, a dozen or so hares ran into the clearing, and the clearing was full of pheasants and rabbits competing for the spring.
"Ha, not only has the problem of insects in the vegetable field been solved, but I can also catch a few hares and sacrifice my teeth, which is really lucky!" Looking at the open space, the dozen or so pheasants that came first began to sway, as if they were drunk and could not stand, the excitement in Yun Yi's heart.
'Plop', 'pounce'... After a soft sound, more than a dozen pheasants fell to the ground drunk and did not move, and the remaining pheasants and hares also began to shake, Yun Yi was just about to stand up proudly, and suddenly a palpitating feeling in his heart made him cautiously lurk behind the bushes again.
Just when Yunyi was distressed, suddenly all the pheasants in the glade seemed to be frightened, and all of them flew to the trees, and the three or two rabbits on the ground soon saw that the situation was not good and jumped into the dense bushes.
Yun Yi looked around the clearing strangely, but found nothing unusual.
Just when he was puzzled, he suddenly noticed that the pheasants and hares that were still moving in the clearing, and they all fled in panic.
The moment a pheasant flapped its wings off the ground, Yun Yi noticed that a vigorous black shadow jumped out of the forest, and with an indomitable domineering spirit, a pheasant that had already flown out of the air to the ground, and then bit off the pheasant's neck in one bite!!
"Wolf!!" When Yun Yi saw the true face of the shadow, he almost didn't scream, because the black shadow was a blue-gray wolf!!
A sturdy wolf!
It is a large adult blue-gray male wolf with a vigorous body and well-proportioned limbs; It was eighty centimeters tall, with shiny blue-gray fur, and a pair of cold eyes on a huge wolf head, as if any animal was its prey.
The wolf nimbled the pheasant that had pounced on it from mid-air, and then walked slowly, sniffing at the pheasant and hare that had fallen drunk on the ground in the clearing, as if wondering why these prey would 'sleep' here.
After a few turns, the green wolf with a puzzled look on the wolf's face shook his head, perhaps unable to understand this question, and began to lick the space spring water in the clearing.
Yun Yi was overwhelmed by the thick evil aura on this wolf's body and the fierce aura cultivated by killing, so he carefully lay on the ground and did not dare to make any movements, for fear of being discovered by this bloodthirsty killer who dominated the mountains and forests.
Fortunately, maybe because Yunyi hid it well, in short, the wolf just didn't notice that there was a human hiding less than thirty meters away from it.
It didn't even glance in Yunyi's direction, and it didn't even notice Yunyi.
Seeing that the wolf didn't notice himself at all, Yun Yi's nervous heart just now finally relaxed.
The wolf wandered around the clearing in the woods, adding all the spatial spring water that Yun Yi had just scattered on the ground into its scarlet mouth, and then licked its mouth very contentedly.
When the wolf licked the spring water on the ground near the east side of Yunyi, it seemed to walk slowly towards the open space on Yunyi's side without any abnormality, and the wolf kept searching for the space spring on the ground as he walked.
When he saw the wolf coming towards him, Yun Yi was immediately startled, but fortunately, he saw that the wolf seemed to be just coming for the space water on the ground, and he didn't find any action to find out, so he was relieved.
It's just that when the wolf walked towards him casually, Yun Yi faintly had a bad feeling floating in his heart; It's just that there doesn't seem to be any danger in the vicinity except for this wolf, and this wolf obviously doesn't notice his appearance.
Unconsciously, Yun Yi raised his vigilance, quietly raised the hunting crossbow in his hand, and aimed at the she-wolf who was slowly walking towards the open space in front of him.
The male wolf who was targeted by Yun Yi seemed to have no consciousness of being locked by himself, and still walked to the open space in front of Yun Yi with a left and right expectation, and kept licking the spatial spring water on the ground of the eater as he walked.
Seeing the male wolf's action, Yun Yicai relieved his heart, feeling that he was really making too much fuss just now, although this wolf is said to be very smart, it is impossible to send himself hiding in the bushes, after all, he hid so carefully, and did not make any movements.
Although he didn't want to beat this wolf by the way, it was just that the lethality of this hunting crossbow could kill the wolf with one arrow, he really had no bottom in his heart, so when he was sure that this wolf was not a threat to him, Yun Yi put down the hunting crossbow in his hand.
It's just that the moment Yun Yi put down the hunting crossbow, the mutation rose sharply!
