Chapter 342: Insect Pests
In the morning, the weather was fine, Zhang Qian ate too early and had a few days to take the final exam. During this time, students should strive to understand the knowledge points again. Liu Junhao originally wanted to take Chitu to the river beach for half a day while the weather was cool in the morning, and come back early when it was hot. Who knows that this guy doesn't like to eat dew grass very much, and he didn't eat much after rubbing on the river beach for nearly an hour. Helpless, he could only take Chitu home again, and then went into the stone lock and cut a large basket of floating grass to feed this guy.
After settling the red rabbit, he began to busy in the flower pond again. The henna had bloomed a few months ago, and now it was the peak of flowers, and the flower pond was full of red, which looked very pleasant. Of course, there are a lot of native bees in the flowers, and Liu Junhao tries to avoid these guys when he drags the grass. Being stung by them is definitely not pleasant.
After weeding, Liu Junhao wiped his hands clean, and was thirsty to kill a watermelon to eat, but when he turned his head, he found that the monkey was holding a big duck pear and jumped down from the tree.
"Goku, come here, Pear!" He pointed to the pear in the guy's hand and shouted.
The language was matched with gestures, and the monkey fully understood, but it did not obediently send the Yali pear, but opened its mouth and took a big bite on it without washing, and then handed it over with a squeak.
"This guy. Get out of here! Liu Junhao slapped it on the head with a smile and drove Wukong away. It is said that although several fruit trees in the courtyard have grown to nearly three meters tall in less than a year after they have been transplanted. Now Liu Junhao is standing under the tree, and he can hook the fruit at the bottom at most. However, these fruits are blocked by foliage and tend to receive less sunlight, so the taste is far less than that of the top ones. The diameter of this tree is only five or six centimeters thick, and Liu Junhao will definitely crush it when he goes up. He doesn't like to pick with a net, so he can only send Wukong out of the horse, anyway, this guy is a veteran of picking fruits, and he must know that those fruits are delicious. Of course, after picking the fruit, Liu Junhao, as the host, of course had to pick the big one.
After a few times, the monkey was reluctant and simply picked only one. When Liu Junhao stretched out his hand to ask for it, it suddenly stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite...... This guy is smart and knows that the owner doesn't want to eat leftovers on his own.
"Squeak ......" Wukong immediately screamed excitedly when he saw that he didn't want the pear, and then swaggered down beside him to nibble.
"This thing is getting more and more cunning, deliberately angry with me." Liu Junhao's body flashed into the stone lock, and then he found a pear bigger than a goose egg. He wiped the frost on it and bit it directly.
When he bought fruit trees to plant, Liu Junhao deliberately planted some in the space, and the pear trees were more fruitful than the ones outside. The size of these pears is obviously larger than that in the courtyard, and Liu Junhao is afraid that his wife will see the abnormality, so he plans to let them grow like this first, and then take them out after the outside is fully ripe, so that at least there is no obvious difference in appearance. Now that I'm being provoked by the monkey, I don't have the idea of continuing to hide it.
It didn't matter if he ate it, he obviously felt that the pears in the space tasted cooler and sweeter, and there seemed to be more juice in them. It rustles to eat. You don't need to exert your teeth at all, just press your tongue, and the flesh will be completely juice. It's no wonder that people call pears pears, and this cold as snow taste flows down the mouth and into the abdomen and lungs, making people feel more comfortable than eating sorbet.
"Squeak......" This time it was the monkey's turn to blush, turned his head and sniffed his nose, and seemed to feel that the pear in the master's hand was much better than the one he had chosen. It jumped in front of Liu Junhao, regardless of whether its claws were clean or not, and directly reached into its pocket and flipped back and forth. But after turning over for a long time, he didn't find the second pear, and in the end, this guy could only scream unwillingly.
"Want to eat?" Liu Junhao teased him a few times with the big Yali pear, and stuffed the fan into Wukong's hand, "Fan me a fan"
"Squeak" This guy didn't care about anything for the sake of food, and his two little paws directly grabbed the handle of the fan and fanned it violently.
Seeing that it was sweating on its tired head, Liu Junhao accepted it when he saw it, and went into the stone lock to touch a big pear. After getting the pear, Wukong immediately threw away the fan in his hand and squatted next to it and nibbled on it. As for the half of the duck pear just now, it fell into the mouths of a few greedy hens.
The pears grown in the space are different, and it is estimated that they can be crushed in a bowl and drunk directly as juice. Liu Junhao nibbled on the pear beautifully, and in less than five minutes, the big Ya pear completely entered his stomach. All that was left in his hand was a pear pit the size of a pigeon's egg.
This is the best variety that has been watered with spring water, the peach tree...... Treat it as if you didn't plant it in your yard.
After eating a pear, Liu Junhao still felt that it was not enjoyable, thought about it, and went into the stone lock again to pick one.
"Huh...... It's getting worse. He was just about to go out with a peach in his arms, when he inadvertently glanced at another pear tree, and the sight on the tree suddenly stopped him.
The contrast between the two pear trees is stark, and the freshly picked pear tree is lush and fruitful. Although the remaining one bears a lot of fruit, the leaves are yellow and withered, which makes people feel distressed to look at, and it is obvious that they have encountered pests and diseases.
To say that Liu Junhao discovered this abnormality a few days ago, but there was no way to spray medicine and remove insects in the stone lock. In addition, he thinks that a few small aphids can't make the climate at all, so he doesn't plan to care. But in just a few days, from the initial pear branch to a large piece, look at that posture, if you don't pay attention to the prevention, it is estimated that the leaves on this pear tree will be harmed by them. The scene in front of him told him that he didn't care about it, after all, he had passed the lesson "What I Want is a Gourd", and if the situation was allowed to deteriorate, I was afraid that there would be more and more aphids by then, and finally the fruit trees in the stone lock would be in danger of being completely destroyed.
Catching insects with bare hands? This doesn't seem to be a good idea. The aphids are small, and they usually hide behind the leaves, and if they are caught one by one with their eyes wide open, they may be tired and short-sighted.
Bird Insect Control ...... It seems that there are no birds in my yard that can take on the important role. The swiftlet feeds on flying insects in the air and fish in the water. The aphids on the trees, their profession is not right, I'm afraid you can only catch the insects if you catch them in front of them. Not to mention the two starlings, these two guys don't seem to have any other skills except for screaming all day long, and they fly to Wukong to beg for food every time they are hungry. I don't think I've caught bugs myself.
"Do you want to post a post on the Internet for help?" He thought about it for a long time and didn't seem to have any good tricks, and finally he could only walk out of the stone lock extremely depressed. What, because of this, I always feel like I'm making a big fuss about asking for help on the Internet. Just thinking about it, suddenly a beetle flew in front of him, and Liu Junhao subconsciously reached out and grabbed it. Multistar ladybug ...... This thing is also a pest, and loves to eat the young stems of fruit trees.
But it seems to have a brother...... Liu Junhao patted his head, he was purely confused just now, how could he forget the seven-star ladybug. "Seven-star ladybugs love to eat aphids", elementary school students all know this sentence.
Aphids also like to harm watermelon seedlings, but the watermelon seedlings in their yard never seem to have many insects, and there must be a credit for the seven-star ladybug. Liu Junhao thought of this, and immediately took Wukong to the backyard to catch ladybugs.
When he arrived in the backyard, he was completely puzzled: a person and a monkey searched back and forth in the courtyard, and he didn't even see a seven-star ladybug.
"Could it be that these things are blind, they don't come to such a good environment in their backyard......" Liu Junhao was reluctant to look for the past again, this time his eyes widened. The hard work paid off, and I finally saw a seven-star ladybug fly down on the watermelon seedlings.
Kouhu, what I'm looking for is you, Liu Junhao hurriedly wanted to reach out and grab it. But before he could react, "Oo" jumped over a stone chicken from the side. As soon as this guy's tongue rolled, the seven-star ladybug entered his stomach.
I see. Only then did he realize that the feeling was not that there was no seven-star ladybug, but that this thing was caught and eaten by the stone chicken.
couldn't catch it in the courtyard, Liu Junhao could only turn his gaze to the field extremely depressed. There were really a lot of these things with him, and in a short time, he caught seven or eight. The monkey saw that the master was so busy coming and going, and he also came to catch it, but this guy couldn't tell the difference between ladybugs, and after a while, the seven-star ladybug, the one-star ladybug, the multi-star ladybug, and so on were all caught.
I usually don't pay much attention to it, but now I realize that these ladybugs are really strange. There are several stars, and some of them are full of small black dots, which only make people dizzy to watch. You said that these guys have nothing to do with so many little black dots, when they are playing Go, Liu Junhao muttered in his heart.
After basking in the sun outside for more than half an hour, the seven-star ladybug also caught a small half bottle. Liu Junhao was about to turn around and go back, but found a large ant nest at the root of the tree.
Ants also eat insects, so you can catch some ants and put them on the pear tree, so that those aphids will never escape.
Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked around, no one! In a flash, his body had already slipped into the stone lock. Quickly snapped a reed stick, and then appeared in place.
Ants love sweets, this reed honey has a fatal temptation to them, it is said that during the dispute between Chu and Han, Han Xin honey wrote "Xiang Yu will die" on the side of the Wujiang River, which led to ants to grab food. When Xiang Yu fled to the Wujiang River, he saw these big characters, and thought it was providence at the time, and finally wiped his neck and committed suicide.
As soon as the honey was dropped on the ground, in less than two minutes, a large group of ants rushed over and crawled a large piece of black pressure on the ground. The monkey seemed to be very afraid of this thing, and squeaked in its mouth and did not dare to approach.
Back home, Liu Junhao entered the stone lock again, he sprinkled the seven-star ladybug on the branches, and then poured the ant clump on the roots. The seven-star ladybug quickly adapted to the environment and began to look for aphids on the branches. On the contrary, those ants were a little confused, and they kept touching their tentacles one by one.
He was so anxious to see that he caught two aphids and threw them at the ant pile, trying to divert the attention of these fellows.
Doesn't seem right...... He was stunned again when he saw the ant's reaction. Instead of using the aphids as food, the ants carried them to the tree and politely turned away
