The stone chickens immediately scattered and fled, and after a while, they completely burrowed into the darkness. Liu Junhao was afraid that they would escape along the waterway, so he blocked them with bricks early. At night, the Qingzhuang water ducks have returned to their nests to sleep, and the stone chickens are scattered in the courtyard and are not afraid of being pecked and eaten.

Stop...... The trick of catching mosquitoes by stone chickens worked very well, and the situation quickly improved. After more than ten minutes, the mosquitoes in the courtyard quickly decreased, and there were no more annoying buzzing sounds in my ears.

Before a few people could start to rejoice, Xiaopi suddenly jumped out of the nest, and then ran under the peach tree and screamed.

"What's in the tree?" Liu Junhao will open immediately.

As the light flickered, a black shadow leaped into the night sky from among the branches and leaves of the peach tree, and then vanished.

"Owl?!" Professor Zhao also saw the black shadow.

"It's not like I didn't hear the flapping of wings just now." Liu Junhao replied a little uncertainly, just now he saw the black shadow form and felt like a big bat, but he also knew that it was impossible, that thing seemed to be fifty or sixty centimeters long when it spread its wings, it was really such a big bat, and it was not a sperm!

When it was completely cool, Liu Junhao remembered about eating, and when he asked Professor Zhao and his family, it turned out that they hadn't eaten either.

The four of them discussed. I can just make a barbecue in the courtyard, and there is a piece of mutton in Professor Zhao's refrigerator, which I was going to eat with dumplings, but now I just use it to grill lamb skewers.

Although Liu Junhao is not good at kebabs, at least there is no problem with grilling. In addition, he has a good grasp of the ingredients, so it tastes very good.

But the stall didn't last long before trouble arose. The roaring light of the fire attracted a lot of blind encounters. These guys are no different from moths, and as soon as they see the light, they immediately throw themselves into the fire. After a while, a dozen or so charcoal fires fell on the fire, and a smell of burnt paste rose on the fire.

Blind bumping is a common insect at night in summer, and its appearance is similar to the chicken dinging that often finds trouble in chicken manure, but the color of the back of this thing is turquoise, and it mainly feeds on leaves. Blind touch is the same as knowing, and you can eat it. When I was a child, life was difficult, and I couldn't eat a little meat for a month, so many people caught and ate it. This thing is poured into water and rinsed for half a day, then mixed with salt, fried in a small pot and eaten with pancakes, it is said that it is crispy and crispy, and can make people's mouths water. Liu Junhao always felt that this thing was quite scary, and he had never eaten it once, but he often carried an iron bucket with Liu Qiyong to catch it when he was idle.

It's good to say that most of them lie on the trunk of the tree, and they are all over the place, so you need to keep your head down when you catch them. Look for the ground with wide eyes, and reach out and touch anything black and flickering whenever you find it, and you can usually touch one. When I'm lucky, I can even touch the "money strings", seven or eight together. However, there are also unlucky times, either touching chicken manure, sheep dung eggs, or small stones. The child didn't care much about this, so he rubbed it on the ground twice and continued to touch it. It wasn't until eleven or twelve o'clock when the adults in the family called to go home that the children reluctantly carried their booty home.

At that time, there were a lot of blind encounters, and Liu Junhao could catch a small half bucket at most one night, and feed his chickens and ducks after catching them.

As soon as he said this, Zhang Qian began to shout: "Husband, don't say it, besides, I can't eat this lamb skewer in my stomach, if you want to eat it, pick it yourself, there are many here." ”

"Why are there so many?" Old Man Zhao flashed left and right with a pu fan, not letting those blind touches approach. But this is useless at all, those guys are very phototaxis, and in a short time, hundreds of them will fly. Seeing that there is more and more trend of blind encounters, several people can only end the barbecue party with great depression.

Seeing that several people were not full, Liu Junhao took out half a watermelon from the house and cut it.

Eating watermelon as sweet as honey and looking at the bright moon in the sky. It gives people an indescribable warmth.

At this time, the heat has completely dissipated, the night is as cool as water, and the breeze quietly blows the treetops, and at the same time brings bursts of lotus fragrance.

The constant chirping of frogs in the backyard adds a touch of tranquility to the summer night.

It wasn't until nearly eleven o'clock that Professor Zhao and his family went back to sleep.

Zhang Qian looked at the time, there was still an hour before the vegetables she planted should be cooked, and she planned to go to bed after picking the vegetables. Liu Junhao was afraid that she would stay up late, so he dragged his wife to bed.

"It's raining," they had just laid down on their beds when they heard a rustling outside.

"No...... Liu Junhao leaned over to the window and took a look, the moon outside was bright.

"What's that? Let's go out and take a look" The more Zhang Qian listened, the more she felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly sat up from the bed.

"It should be the sound of the wind blowing the leaves" Liu Junhao was a little sleepy at first, and he didn't want to get out of bed and turn on the light at all.

"Why is this so weird?" Zhang Qian always felt wrong when she heard the sound, as if it was the rustle of spring silkworms eating mulberry leaves.

"The summer wind is like this, go to sleep" Liu Junhao yawned and fell asleep.

A dreamless night......

The next morning, Liu Junhao was still lying on the bed and sleeping, Zhang Qian suddenly stood outside the door and shouted: "Husband, hurry up and come out to see, what's wrong with the poplar tree in our yard?" ”

"What's wrong, worms?" He really couldn't move, mainly because he slept too late last night.

"The poplar leaves are all gone, and the trunks are all light, so get up quickly." Zhang Qian shouted for a long time and didn't see her husband move, so in the end she could only use the trick of scratching her armpits.

"Up, up" Liu Junhao immediately surrendered.

As soon as the clothes were put on, Zhang Qian dragged him outside the hospital.

"I x" saw the scene on the poplar tree, and Liu Junhao fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Overnight, the poplar changed its appearance. The palm-sized poplar leaves on the top were all gone, leaving only the bare branches slanting into the sky. Turning his head to look at the pear tree next to him, he also suffered such a bad luck.

"Husband, what do you say you are doing here?" Zhang Qian looked up for a long time, but did not find the culprit.

"What else could it be, of course." Liu Junhao replied rather depressedly. He knew by now what the rustling sound was last night, it must have been the sound of blindly chewing leaves.

"They're so capable?!" Zhang Qian was a little unconvinced. It is possible that that little bug will destroy one or two leaves, and gnaw away these poplars overnight, how much does it take?

"Anything is possible." Liu Junhao walked around the poplar tree, pointed to the poplar leaves that his subordinates had gnawed and only had leaf veins left, and said, "Look, these guys are under the leaves of the Tibetan tree." He picked up a few leaves, and they were all churning around.

"Xiaohao, was your poplar tree eaten by some bug?" Before he started to make breakfast, Professor Zhao hurried over.

"Well, it's a blind touch, look at how many of them there are" As Liu Junhao turned over the leaves, more and more blind touches were tossed out, and as soon as those hens saw the food, they immediately flew up.

"There are too many of them, not so many last year, and it must have been raining because their predators missed the best chance to hunt. It must be eliminated as soon as possible. Otherwise, the grubs in the autumn fields will be piled up, and the peanut production will be reduced. "Eradicating pests is Professor Zhao's old job, and he naturally talks about it.

"Grubs, how do you have anything to do with this thing?" Liu Junhao asked suspiciously. He knew the grub, the thing that lived underground and mainly harmed the rhizomes of plants, which the rural people called the silkworms.

"Stupid, grubs are blind larvae, and blind touching is also called beetles, you know?"

"I really don't know......" he replied curtly. I only knew that Blind Bump came out of the ground, but I never thought that it still had a larval stage.

"It's really strange, you said that there are so many poplar leaves planted in the forest in front of our door, and it doesn't eat it. Why did you choose our family? Zhang Qian glanced at the woods through the ditch a few times, and then asked.

"That's because your poplar leaves grow well, and you will pick and choose fat and thin." Professor Zhao joked with a smile.

Liu Junhao knows the reason why Shiyou is still a spring, and it seems that this spring water does not blindly bring benefits to people.

In the morning, when Liu Junhao went to the village to visit the door, he learned that not only his tree had been damaged, but also more than a dozen poplar trees on the roadside of the village had been gnawed bare.

"If you don't take the medicine, the village will pay for some medicine to kill the blind, and let's beat the wheat straw stacks one by one." Liu Qihua opened his mouth to suggest.

"What kind of medicine, do you kid know about sustainable development, and the three representatives have learned in vain?" Liu Guangju immediately objected, "After this blind encounter is extinguished, it will definitely be preyed upon by other birds, which will also poison the birds." ”

This book deserves it, and the three representatives can be contacted by eliminating a few blind encounters, and Liu Junhao is only impressed now.

"Then what should we do, why don't we mobilize the whole village to get up at night and touch it? I don't want to touch that thing......" Liu Qihua then asked rhetorically.

"Stupid, what time do you have to touch, of course, light a few fires at the head of the village, and let people guard the side at night, be careful not to catch fire." Liu Guangju talked about the soil method of exterminating insects in the village.

"Uncle Guangju, don't be so troublesome, just pull a high-voltage lamp at the head of the village at night, and put a big wooden basin under the high-voltage lamp." Liu Junhao interjected in the back. The method is what Professor Zhao said in the morning, which is called the photoattracty method, which uses the phototaxis of blindly touching the night. In fact, he also knew this method, and he had learned it in biology textbooks when he was in school, but he forgot to connect theory with practice.

"High-voltage lights, will it work?"

"Sure, this is what Professor Zhao said", and no one in the village had any doubts. In their eyes, people are really knowledgeable.

Liu Junhao was afraid that the blind touch would continue to cause trouble at night, so he also planned to wait for a high-voltage lamp in his yard. When Professor Zhao heard about it, he suggested that he set up a high-voltage lamp in the ditch in the backyard, so that when it fell into the water, it would be used as food for the eel, and it would not be wasted at all
