Almost every piece of gravel in the dry pond was turned over, and even the slightly larger mounds in the corners of the dry pond were searched one by one, but Na Jiu Ye still couldn't find the two fighting scorpions that had disappeared.

Wiping the sweat that was faintly oozing from his forehead, Na Jiu Ye didn't think much about it, and shouted towards Nalan's room one after another: "My daughter, hurry up and come out to help your father find it, how can my ancestor be missing two heads?" ”

As soon as the door curtain was lifted, Nalan Li, who was still red-faced, walked out, and took the scorpion tongs made of purple bamboo branches in Na Jiuye's hand with some disgust: "How do you speak?" Who still cares about their ancestors'? ”

Lowered his head and re-examined the entire dry pool, but Nalan could only stand up straight in disbelief, shaking his head and muttering in a low voice: "I counted when I fed live food yesterday, eighteen fighting scorpions are a lot!" Why did you ...... it all night?"

Gathered the few dead branches and leaves on the iron sieve into the small dustpan next to it, Xiang Youbao walked to the edge of the dry pond with the small dustpan, glanced at the dry pool for a moment, and muttered as if talking to himself: "It won't be...... Gone? ”

As soon as the words fell, the saliva in Na Jiuye's mouth and the purple bamboo scorpion tongs in Nalan's hand flew over together!

In the main gate of the fire, there are some taboo things or phrases for the players who serve the insects.

Words such as realgar and sulfur should never be mentioned in places where insects are served. The Dragon Boat Festival is the most taboo day for players who serve insects, in addition to closing the door to thank customers, some players will even paste a black peach charm at the door to show that they are blocking the collision of yang energy.

And the word "walking" can't be mentioned in front of players who are waiting for insects!

In ancient times, torture was to put all kinds of poisonous insects and poisonous snakes into a huge soil pit, and then throw the tortured person into the basin and be bitten to death by poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, which was extremely cruel.

After the torture is over, the poisonous insects and poisonous snakes in the basin will gradually begin to fight and devour each other due to lack of food or conflicts in their nature, until finally the strongest poisonous insects and poisonous snakes are left, but more often they lose both.

For players like Na Jiuye, who serve the fighting scorpions, the most taboo thing on weekdays is to meet the raised fighting scorpions and kill each other. However, because the habit of scorpions is to live in groups, they cannot isolate those fighting scorpions and raise them separately, so as not to cause the fighting scorpions to lack the experience of fighting and predating, resulting in infatuation, and eventually becoming a huge and extremely slow waste.

According to the eight methods of raising scorpions inherited in the main gate of Huo, in addition to minimizing the number and putting enough food in the dry pond, the fighting scorpions raised in the dry pond are more likely to add some medicinal materials to the food they usually raise, so that the body odor exuded by the fighting scorpion is stronger, so that other fighting scorpions who smell this smell will not easily touch the territory of other fighting scorpions.

However, once these precautions fail, the fighting scorpions raised in the dry ponds, especially those that have successfully hunted the same kind once, will inevitably give up the food that is readily available as if they were obsessed, and instead use the hunted species as the only source of food. And under this almost evenly matched hunt, the vast majority of players who serve the insects can only watch the fighting scorpions in the dry pond fight all over their bodies or whimper, and in the end there are only one or two pieces of waste with crippled pliers and stinging needles!

Seeing that Na Jiu Ye and Nalan had unhappy expressions on their faces, Xiang Youbao, who had committed a taboo, did not have any due guilt. Putting down the small dustpan he was holding in his hand, Xiang Youbao jumped lightly and jumped onto the thick wooden plank on the dry pond in the shape of 'eye', and reached out to pick up half a matchstick length of the scorpion arthropod from a piece of uncovered capstone, and handed it to Na Jiuye's eyes: "Uncle Shi, take a look?!" ”

Just looking at the scorpion arthropod pinched by the leopard's fingers, Na Jiuye suddenly collapsed to the chair like a deflated ball: "My mother-in-law...... The tender fighting scorpion seedlings that have been raised for three years are easy to see that the shell is hard and the tip of the pincers is stable, and they can take it out to fight when they speak, and this juncture is ......"

With the same cloudy face, Nalan sighed faintly: "It's a pity...... Waiting in no black and white, covering in the quilt all day in winter, and sprinkling cool well water once half an hour in summer. I am afraid that the food will not be fresh and spoil the fierceness of the fighting scorpion, and the yard on a hot day is covered with manure to raise flies and maggots, and the smoke is so that people can't stand ......"

As if to say something sad, Nalan covered his mouth violently, turned his head and rushed back to his room, slamming the door slammed. But a moment later, a low, suppressed cry faintly came from Nalan's house.

Rubbing his somewhat astringent eyes, Na Jiu Ye looked at the purple bamboo scorpion cage placed by the dry pool, and sighed helplessly: "In the blink of an eye, the flesh of the liver tip will be ripped off raw!" I'm going to ....... you lose money."

As if to vent the pent-up anger in his heart, Na Jiu Ye jumped up from his chair suddenly, raised his foot and stepped heavily on those delicate purple bamboo scorpion cages!

Fierce eagle soaking water, Xiang Youbao snatched out the purple bamboo scorpion cage from under Na Jiuye's feet unusually neatly, and jumped down from the thick wooden board in the shape of "eye" and stopped in front of Na Jiuye: "Uncle, can we still think of ruts......"

Staring at Xiang Youbao angrily, Na Jiu Ye unceremoniously stretched out his hand and pushed towards Xiang Youbao's chest: "Get out of the way!" I know what you're trying to say - the insect player who met the worm in the main gate of the fire, from ancient times to the present, there are three people who can happen to bump into a seven-killing scorpion......"

Standing motionless in front of Na Jiuye, Xiang Youbao raised the purple bamboo scorpion cage in his hand high: "Isn't there still three people waiting to come out and kill the scorpion?" Why can't we make it? Uncle Shi, anyway, a dead horse is a live horse doctor, why can't you try it? ”

Staring at a pair of eyes that had turned red from hangover and anger, Na Jiu Ye was stunned for a while before he let out a long breath: "In the main gate of the fire, it's not that no one has ever fought this idea, and wants to use the method of walking to serve a seven-killing scorpion!" It doesn't matter if it works or not, let's just say that I don't have all the things that serve the Seven Scorpions! Especially the three-flavor main medicine - Seven Star Vine, Shark Tooth and Green Wolf Treasure, I have one Seven Star Vine at hand, and the remaining two flavor main medicines, where can I touch it at this moment?! ”

Frowning slightly, Xiang Youbao muttered in a low voice: "I heard the master say that this shark tooth can be replaced by the dog fish tooth practiced in Shaoxing rice wine, and the green wolf treasure is simpler, go to the pharmacy to buy some dog treasure and a few flavors of strong medicine to improve qi and steam it, it is no different from the green wolf treasure!" ”

Smiling slyly, Xiang Youbao raised his finger and pointed at the newly added red silk rope around the neck of the Ninth Master: "Besides, even if these things are unreliable, don't we still have a little gold stone?" ”

Suddenly realized, Na Jiuye jumped up on the spot: "I'm really angry!" This bit of the insect that the golden stone is waiting for, even if it is worse, it is a cut above the ordinary insect pig, I still don't believe it......"

As if injected with a strong needle, Na Jiuye snatched the purple bamboo scorpion cage held in Xiang Youbao's hand, carefully placed it next to the dry pool, and raised his hand to grab a capstone from the dry pool and threw it out: "Then don't be stunned?!" Hurry up, take advantage of the noon sun to change the subsoil in the dry pond! ”

grabbed Na Jiuye's arm, but Xiang Youbao shook his head and shouted: "I'm afraid I can't change the subsoil in a hurry at this time, right?" I heard the master say that the dry pond where the scorpions walked away was already full of the smell left by the scorpions. At this time, a change of subsoil made the scorpion confused about the territory he had drawn out yesterday. Why don't you sprinkle a layer of subsoil and half-cover the smell left by the scorpion, so that the scorpion can rest for a night, not busy catching a scorpion, but first draw its territory? ”

Stretching out his hand and patting his head, Na Jiuye simply turned his head and walked towards his room: "My brain is all messed up...... It's up to you! There is also the recipe for matching some gold and stone explained by your master, hurry up and rectify it for me! ”

Simply agreed, Xiang Youbao first moved the small dustpan containing dead branches and leaves to the side, and then loaded the subsoil that had just been screened and mixed with fine bamboo rose, stood on the thick wooden board of the 'eye' shape, shook the fine bamboo rose, and evenly sprinkled the subsoil into the dry pond.

Through the slightly chatting curtains, Nalan looked at the leopard who had carefully sprinkled the subsoil into the dry pool, and couldn't help but stomp his feet indignantly.

I knew that there was a way to serve those fighting scorpions well, but I just didn't say anything, and I had to wait until I cried a good nose, and then I showed off my stinky tone!

How can this man be so bad?!

Biting his lip gently, Nalan glanced back at some bottles and jars in his room, grabbed a small white porcelain gourd from the corner of the kang, poured some blue-gray powder from the small gourd in his palm, and used his fingernails to pull some blue-gray powder back into the small white porcelain gourd.

When serving the fighting scorpion, I encountered that the fighting scorpion became angry because of eating too much live food, and those fierce fighting scorpions would even bite off their own pincers to harm themselves. Whenever this happens, it is necessary to add a little senna leaf to the water that the fighting scorpion drinks to finely ground into powder to help the fighting scorpion clear the fire.

And if a person is careless and eats the powder ground from this epsom leaf, he will feel the intestines sound in the stomach within half an hour, and he will fart so much that he can't sit still at all. If you eat too much, even if you are a sturdy man, you can have diarrhea and turn gray in less than a day!

Opening the door, Nalan didn't look at Xiang Youbao, who was carefully sprinkling the subsoil into the dry pool, but went straight to the stove, lifted a pot of boiling water sitting on the stove, and sprinkled some high-foam tea into a white porcelain teapot, and brewed a large pot of tea.

Sprinkled the senna leaf powder tightly pinched in the palm of his hand into the steaming teapot, Nalan shook the teapot gently, and then walked out of the stove with a coarse porcelain tea bowl, put the teapot and tea bowl on the edge of the dry pool, and raised his face towards Xiang Youbao: "If you are thirsty, pour your own tea and drink!" ”

Before Xiang Youbao, who was holding a thin bamboo rose, answered, a high-pitched voice suddenly came from outside the door: "The door is closed early in the morning, is this the kiln sister hidden in the house who is afraid of being looked at, or is there an old mother on the kang hidden in the nest?" Na Jiu, Ma Yu'er opened the door to the master! ”
