Chapter 278: Something Jumping in the Grass

"Tiger skin?"

Leng Feng took the saddle cover and looked up and down, it was a very complete tiger skin, except for the necessary cut, there were no scars and bloodstains, this was not the broken tiger skin!

After Ashina Ayi gave the tiger skin saddle to Leng Feng, he walked out, not wanting to say anything to him.

Leng Feng took a closer look at the tiger skin saddle cover, the complete tiger skin, although it was not nitrated, but I don't know what method she used, the tiger skin actually did not leave a fishy smell, did she use perfume?

When I went up and smelled it, there was a musky fragrance, which was the most basic taste after being diluted in the soaking water of the sparkle spicy water.

As a killer, Leng Feng also has a little research on perfumery.

Yes, you read that right.

Leng Feng's master mastered a recipe for a mystical incense, the smell was not pungent, much like the smell of ordinary perfumes, but people who smelled this fragrance directly would invariably lie on the ground and sleep for a day and a night.

As his only disciple, Leng Feng naturally learned this recipe, and before the official production, he was practicing in making perfumes.

Tyrannical things~

For the preciousness of musk, Leng Feng is too familiar, when Ashina Ayi came back yesterday, the fishy smell on his body is the original taste of musk, this woman actually used it to soak it in water and dilute it!

You must know that musk is the best natural fixative, and it is too wasteful to use it directly as a perfume!

Although she was helpless about her behavior of wasting musk, Leng Feng still felt quite moved, the tiger skin was not that one, which means that she went out to fight tigers yesterday, and in that not too long time, she also hunted a fragrant roe deer.

Walking to the snow with the tiger skin saddle cover, Leng Feng put it on the saddle, which is very suitable, you can put it away and wait for it to dry completely, so that you will no longer be afraid of the saddle in winter.

Leng Feng, who was satisfied, swayed inside, and kicked the second dog when he passed by.

The Qinling Mountains are huge, and the species of plants and animals are very rich, Sun Simiao chose to settle here before, because there are many herbs here, almost one between three steps.

Leng Feng and Sun Simiao were teachers, and when they encountered a herb, they explained a herb, and when they encountered a creature, Leng Feng explained to them the living habits of this animal.

Lin He and Sun Zhijian were worried about their safety, but after two days of classes, they became obsessed with biology, listening to lectures during the day, and returning to their homes at night to sort out the plants and animals they encountered during the day, and classify them according to their different differences. When encountering disagreements, the four young men often quarreled until midnight.

Ashina Ayi originally joined this discipline with a sense of disappointment, but after adding Sun Simiao, the gold content of this discipline is high!

Although the Turks also have doctors, their medical skills really cannot be compared with the doctors of the Central Plains, let alone Sun Simiao, the master of the Central Plains medical Tao.

Such interesting days always fly by, unconsciously, the news of the birth of the little second dog came to the house of the second dog, the second dog just asked for leave to go home and had fun for three days and then came back to continue on duty, but the appearance of being happy from time to time is really scary.

Liu's stomach was angry, and the first child gave birth to a handle for the second dog, and the second dog coquettishly gave his son the name of "Gou Bu Yi", which made Mr. Han Chongwen laugh.

In the atmosphere of laughter, everything went smoothly, except, of course, the little bugs jumping around on the ground.

Leng Feng and the others stayed in the mountains for three months, only occasionally returning to Chang'an to rest for a few days, and after bringing supplies, they continued to go into the mountains to make records.

During this time, the earth quietly turns green, the new grass is vibrant, and the newly smoked willow buds are very green.

However, there was no spring rain.

This year, the apricot blossom rain did not patronize Guanzhong, not a drop.

This year is destined to be a year of great drought.

In a year of a major drought, food production is reduced, and eggs that are easily killed by fungi – such as locust eggs – can survive.

While Wang Xuance was laughing and chasing in the grass, the three brothers Leng Feng and Li Chengqian were worried.

When they run across a meadow, there will be a lot of little bugs jumping on that meadow, and that's nymphs. Locusts are incomplete metamorphosis insects, including eggs, nymphs, and adults, and the nymphs at this time have not fully grown up, and their wings have not fully developed.

But when they grow up, grow wings, and eat more, they will evolve into a plague of locusts, and they will fly up and down to one place, eat up everything that is green, and then fly to the next place.

During this period, the male and female locusts will mate and lay locust eggs, which only take ten days to hatch in summer, so that there is a large number of newborn nymphs.

After a short period of jumping, the nymph can follow the flight of its parents and pounce on the next place full of green.

This is the plague of locusts!

Manpower is sometimes exhausted, and the technology of later generations can be said to be developed, but when there is a locust plague in Africa, people can only sigh.

Too much! I can't kill it!

Pesticides can indeed kill locusts, but what do you want humans and other animals to do with spraying pesticides on a large area?

So, sometimes there are so many of them that you can really do whatever you want.

There is still nothing to be done with it in later generations, let alone the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, so Leng Feng's preparations in these hours are all for the people in the disaster area to be able to feed themselves and not starve to death in this year of great drought. Catching locusts also just doesn't want to waste their protein.

As for catching all the locusts, just think about it, really, the overwhelming locusts can only be caught when they land, and when they fly, there is no way to do it.

Li Chengqian couldn't help but tug at Leng Feng's sleeve: "Master, can we really resist this disaster?" ”

Li Ke and Li Tai also looked embarrassed, they had learned simple statistics, and when they saw the nymphs jumping around in the grass and jumping up in pieces as soon as they were startled, they could naturally think of how many of these things would be in the entire Guanzhong.

"Terrible" can only be used to describe the number of locusts at the time of the locust plague!

Leng Feng trampled on a few nymphs, sighed and said, "Do your best, we have made all the preparations we can do, and your father Fang Xuanling and they have also filed a record." It's better than knowing nothing about a plague of locusts! ”

Ashina Ayi had a lot of fun during this time, the variety of animals and plants in the Qinling Mountains is much more interesting than the endless grassland, after learning to dry and process medicinal materials, she also deliberately mobilized her subordinates to collect medicinal materials for the treatment of trauma, and wanted to bring them back to the grassland.

Seeing Leng Feng's master and apprentice whispering together, she leaned over very blindly: "What are you masters and apprentices muttering here?" ”
