Chapter 422: A Good Time to Cast a Hornet's Nest

Su Nana has plans to stay in Liujiagou for a while this time, and Zhang Qian naturally welcomes this. Just enough to let her help her lead the class for a few days. Although Liujiagou has four more teachers, dozens of students have been added, and the number of teachers is still a little tight.

Liu Junhao originally planned to go to the post office in the morning and deliver the chrysanthemum tea ordered by netizens. Before he could leave, Liu Junqi came to the door and asked him to go to the crucian carp bone to throw a hornet's nest.

This hornet's nest was discovered when he was looking for the crested ibis in the spring, and Liu Junqi had already planned to sell it for money, but there were too many hornets on it at that time, and he didn't dare to do it.

Now that the weather is so cold, the hornets should fly away early, and it is a good time to throw a hornet's nest.

Liu Junhao didn't mean to go up the mountain at first, and a hornet's nest was only a thousand yuan, which he couldn't see. Let Liu Junqi make a small fortune by himself...... I didn't know that people had no intention of monopolizing it at all, so they had to pull him and Zhao Guangming together, saying that it was discovered by three people together.

But he couldn't stand Liu Junqi's persuasion, so he had to go back to the house and call Zhao Guangming.

When this goods heard that they wanted to throw a hornet's nest on the mountain, they were very interested, and it only took ten minutes to ride a motorcycle to Liujiagou.

While they were preparing the utensils, Liu Junhao went to Professor Zhao's house to say hello and asked him to pay attention to the little leopard cubs in the courtyard for a while, so as not to run away.

As soon as they went out, Goku and Squirrel followed. Xiaopi originally wanted to follow, but was assigned by his master to stay at home to guard. The main thing is to prevent the female clouded leopard, this guy's injuries are mostly healed, and now he is obviously "plotting" against the chickens and ducks in the yard. If there is no one to guard the courtyard, maybe the chickens and ducks will be killed in half a day.

The hornet's nest found by a few people in the spring was less than a meter long, and it was only the size of a basin at its widest point. But when they came to the foot of the wolfberry tree, they all opened their mouths wide.

In less than half a year, the size of the hornet's nest doubled. It looks even more terrifying. The layers of honeycombs are densely connected, like an earthy yellow python coiling on the trunk of a tree.

It looked conspicuous, but it was a miracle that no one had taken it before them.

"Xiao Hao, this hornet's nest is worth at least two thousand yuan, you really don't want it, I can divide it equally with Xiao Zhao......" Liu Junqi sighed in his mouth, the hornet's nest has not been taken off yet, and he is already thinking about how much he can sell it.

"Don't say no, don't, I'm going up the mountain to play" Liu Junhao shook his head.

There is no danger in picking the hornet's nest this time, and the hornets in the nest should fly away as soon as possible, as long as you go up the tree and use a saw blade to see off the hornet's nest.

"I'll go up ......," Zhao Guangming wanted to show off. He took off his shoes and scrambled towards the tree.

"Be careful," Liu Junqi admonished below.

"Don't worry, buddy also had a deep study in climbing trees when he was a child, and going to this hairy wolf tree is like playing." Zhao Guangming climbed halfway up the tree and waved his hand to make a gesture at them.

But then Liu Junqi's words made his hand slip and almost fall off the tree, and people opened their mouths to say, "I'm not worried about people, I'm worried about the hornet's nest, don't break it, it's worth a thousand dollars." ”

In fact, this guy's tree climbing movements are good, and he should have practiced a little bit.

Liu Junhao wanted to open his mouth to praise, but before he could say anything, Zhao Guangming suddenly screamed. followed "Mom" for a while, without saying a word, and climbed directly under the tree.

He descended from the tree very quickly, like a big tanuki, falling to the ground in the blink of an eye.

"What's the matter, there's still a hornet in the nest?" Liu Junqi asked in surprise. This hornet's nest is too big, and he was startled when he climbed up in the spring, but it is said that there are no hornets at this time.

"Look at my hand......" Zhao Guangming raised his hand with a sad face. I saw that the back of my hand was red and swollen, and the blink of an eye was already swollen like a steamed bun.

"Damn, there's really a hornet?" Liu Junhao felt incredible: today's maximum temperature is only seven or eight degrees, how can there be a hornet, could it be that there are also cold-tolerant varieties among the hornets?

"Quickly get the stinger out for me" As a native of the countryside, Zhao Guangming naturally knows how powerful this thing is. Wasps are more poisonous, especially mountain hornets. Pull out the stinger as soon as you are stung by them, and remove the toxins from it as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the toxicity is completely attacked, it will definitely make people feel painful.

Seeing Zhao Guangming grinning there, Liu Junhao hurriedly stepped forward to squeeze the stinger.

"I'm X, I've been beating geese all day long and making geese peck out of the eyes" Although the stinger was pulled out, they didn't consider that there would be an accident when they came, so they didn't bring the wind oil essence. At the moment, I can only let this guy endure it and go down the mountain to find a way.

"What to do?" Waiting for Zhao Guangming to stop, Liu Junqi looked at the huge hive and asked.

"It's tasteless to eat, it's a pity to throw it away", if such a large hornet's nest is worth at least 2,000 yuan, but if it is stung by a swarm of bees, the gains outweigh the losses, and spending thousands of dollars may not be cured.

"Of course I have to find a way to take it off, otherwise I will suffer in vain." As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhao Guangming grinned in pain.

"Pick it up, you kid don't want to die?" Liu Junhao looked at the big guy above his head with some wistfulness.

"Don't worry, there are no hornets on the top of the nest," Zhao Guangming explained, "I was careless to let the hornets sting just now, if there are hornets in the nest, do you think I can still sting them?" ”

Yes...... At this time, the two realized that something was wrong. Hornets usually swarm when attacking people, and they didn't notice the sight of hornets dancing in swarms just now.

"There is a big hole in the trunk of this hairy wolf, which is probably hollowed out by woodpeckers. The hornets are all hiding in the hollow of the tree, and I was stung by accidentally touching the hollow of the tree. As long as you are careful when you go up, you should be fine. Only then did Zhao Guangming tell the reason for being stung.

"I see, you didn't say it earlier." Hearing that there were no hornets on the hornet's nest, Liu Junqi finally settled down.

In autumn, when the temperature drops to about 10 degrees Celsius, the hornets begin to leave their nests, looking for sunny and sheltered places such as wall cracks, firewood stacks, and tree holes to gather in groups for wintering. At this time, their mobility is very poor, and they generally do not fly out of the tree hole to sting, as long as they do not alarm them when they go up the tree to pick the hornet's nest, there should be no problem.

"Xiao Hao, why don't you go up and see off the branches?" Knowing that there was no danger, Liu Junqi was still a little scared.

"Don't do it" Liu Junhao simply refused, "You can do it yourself, I just said, I don't want the honeycomb to come down." ”

"I can't bear to let the child trap or find a wolf" Liu Junqi thought about it and was still reluctant to give up the thousands of dollars that were close at hand, and finally gritted his teeth and took off his coat.

"What are you trying to do?" Zhao Guangming asked puzzled.

"Wait until I go up and put my coat over the hollow in the tree so the hornets can't fly." Liu Junqi replied, stuck the saw blade in his waist, and carried the rope up the tree.

Climbing to the waist of the tree, he wrapped his coat around the trunk and then tied the branch where the hornet's nest was located with a rope. That's a good idea, at least he didn't fly out again after he went up.

The tree was loose and did not take much effort to saw, and in less than five minutes, Liu Junqi sawed off the branches.

Under the action of the rope, the hornet's nest was carefully sent down. It's worth a thousand bucks, and he can't afford to be careless.

When he was on the hairy wolf tree, he couldn't see it intuitively, and when the hornet's nest was put on the ground, Liu Junhao was very surprised. For such a large honeycomb, there are at least tens of thousands of wasps. If a swarm stings occur, the consequences are unimaginable.

The honeycomb was plucked, and a few people rested for a while before preparing to go down the mountain.

Liu Junhao turned his head to look for Wukong and Doudou, only to find that the two guys had already run away without a trace, so he had no choice but to shout at the top of his voice.

Wukong didn't run far, and when he heard his master's call, he immediately rushed back. When this guy came back, he was carrying a plastic bag full of red persimmons, and I don't know where they came from.

Liu Junhao peeled one off casually, the flesh was crystal clear and frosty. Although it is not comparable to the persimmons in my own yard, the taste is not bad.

"Wukong, give me one too," Zhao Guangming stretched out his hand to ask, but the monkey squeaked and refused to give it.

"Damn, I'm paying for the head office, right?" Zhao Guangming said as he touched a corner of the banknote from his wallet and handed it forward.

The "squeak" monkey immediately took it silly, and at the same time sent a whole bag of mountain persimmons over.

"Your Wukong is so easy to deceive" Zhao Guangming took a small hole in the persimmon, and then sucked it suddenly, and the thick persimmon fragrance was refreshing.

"You're embarrassed, even the monkey is cheating," Liu Junhao pouted. Wukong is indeed too stupid, so many persimmons can't be sold for a dime.

After shouting a few times, he didn't see a little figure, and just as he was about to look for it, this guy finally appeared, holding a golden thing in his hand.

"What's this?" Liu Junhao reached over and snatched it. Who knows that the little guy is very faceless. Screamed a few times and turned and jumped away, holding the little paws like a baby.

But it ignored the monkey next to it, and Wukong leaned over and grabbed it, and sent it to his master as if flattering.

"Squeak...... ......The squirrel immediately became angry, opening its mouth to bite the monkey's paws.

Wukong had no choice but to jump onto the tree, but Dotted refused to give up and chased after him screaming. In fact, squirrels are no match for monkeys at all, they just want to be funny.

"Brother Junqi, what do you see what this is?" Liu Junhao didn't care about the two little guys who were fighting, turned around and handed Liu Junqi the yellow and clear thing in his hand, a bit like egg skin and a little like white fungus.

Liu Junqi took it in his hand and weighed it a few times, then tore off a piece and put it in his mouth to chew, "Well, it's a bit like fungus, and there is a chrysanthemum-flavored ......, I haven't seen it before." ”

"It must be fungi," Zhao Guangming also leaned over and dragged a small piece.

The three of them watched it for a few minutes, but they couldn't see why. However, since squirrels are picked and eaten, this thing should be non-toxic. I've never heard of anyone who has ever seen this before, so maybe it's something rare.

Liu Junhao plans to get some back for Professor Zhao to see, people are well-informed, maybe they know.

When he put it into the squirrel's paw, the little one immediately stuffed it into his mouth. Let it lead the way, but a few times screaming, there is no intention of turning back at all, and it is not cooperative at all.
