At this time, Lu Daxun and several people hurriedly bandaged Ruan Xiaowei and stopped the bleeding.

Now that another person has died, coupled with Ruan Xiaowei's serious injuries, we have to stop for a while. On the one hand, he carried out simple treatment for Ruan Xiaowei, and on the other hand, he tried to find a way to pass the hurdle of serial reproduction. If you're outside, find some long planks and put them on the trap to get through. But where did the trees come from, so I had to think of some other way to solve it.

Cao Fenghua made holes along one side of the wall and placed long rod rivets of sufficient length in the holes. There are two rows of holes in total, the lower one is used to step on, and the upper one is to grab the handle with your hands.

After a long day of work, we had to step on the rivets one by one, and finally passed the flap mechanism. Due to Ruan Xiaowei's unconscious, and the time had passed for a long time, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, but we couldn't feel the concept of day and night here, so we decided to rest in place for the night after passing the flip trap.

During the break, everyone chatted.

"Master Liang, you seem to know that kind of bug just now, tell us about it!" Someone asked Mr. Liang for advice.

"I don't know what the scientific name of this insect is, but I know it's called sand locust." Liang Shiyou said.

"Tsar? Was this bug imported from Russia, or was it the royal family of the Tsarist period? Jar said.

"It's a sand locust, not a tsar! The sand of the sand, the locusts of the locusts! Master Liang corrected the jar and said.

Tanzi smiled: "I know, I'm just kidding!" ”

"Sand locusts?" Jiang Jie muttered, "What a strange name! Locusts hiding in the sand? Don't say it, the insect looks like a locust, except that it has no wings and is a little smaller. ”

"This sand locust is not the same as a locust, it is a carnivore, and it is also called a rotting locust because it often lies dormant underground and feeds on corpses. ”

"Yo, this is my father again, I didn't expect this bug to really have a relationship with the royal family!" The jar joked.

"This is a rotting locust?" I asked Mr. Liang.

Senior Liang stared sideways at me and asked, "You've heard of it too?" ”

I nodded: "I didn't know what the sand locust was before, but as soon as you said the rot locust, I understood. ”

"Oh? Got what? Master Liang asked.

"I've seen the introduction of the Rot Locust, and it's pretty much the same as you said. But rot locusts are extremely rare, so most people don't know about this kind of bug, and even if they do, they think it's an ordinary insect! It is said that they live deep in the sand......"

Jiang Jie interjected and said: "Then their perception must be very good, as long as the sand vibrates, it means that the prey has come to the door......"

Master Liang nodded approvingly: "I also encountered this kind of rotting locust once many years ago......"

"Where?" I asked.

Master Liang's face froze, and he hesitated slightly, but finally said: "...... in an ancient tomb"

I didn't continue to ask him what he was doing in the ancient tomb, this kind of thing just thinks about it, and he is not a professional archaeologist, so there is only one thing to do in the tomb - digging a pit!

"It's amazing how quickly the rotting locusts eat the corpses...... It is recorded in the book that after a horse fell into the sand, it took less than half a pillar of incense to become a skeleton. At this speed, it's a land piranha! Looking at Xiao Ruan's bare leg bones, everyone will definitely no longer have doubts about the speed they said to me.

"But didn't you say that rotting locusts are carnivores? So this trap has been in existence for thousands of years, how did these rotten locusts survive? ”

"This is another of the most amazing things about the Rotting Locust!" I said, "I read in the book that once this rot locust has no food source, it will enter the reverse growth stage......

"Reverse growth?" Everyone was a little surprised.

"Yes, return to the larval state, and then the larva will form a cocoon and wrap itself into suspended animation, which can live for a thousand years!" I explained.

"This ...... What kind of locusts are these? will also spin silk cocoons, obviously it is a silkworm! ”

Jiang Jie also said: "The first time I heard that locusts can also form cocoons......

Mo Ji asked on the side: "So, can this rotting locust rejuvenate?" ”

I said, "So to speak." ”

Mo Ji said: "Then isn't it immortal? "Mo Ji, who has been looking for the elixir of life, has also focused on longevity.

"Uh...... I ...... a little unsure, "because the book doesn't say that this rotting locust can live forever......"

Uncle Xu looked at the leg bones of Ruan Xiaowei's legs, sighed and said, "Now I finally know why there is not a sharp knife under the flap trap...... It's because there's a design that's bloodier and more brutal than a sword...... "We couldn't help but nod silently in acknowledgement.

Master Liang, who had been talking for a long time, took out a delicate snuffbox from his pocket, put it under his nose and inhaled it violently, not to mention how comfortable his expression was afterwards.

"Master Liang, I didn't expect you to like snuff?" Jiang Jie asked.

"It's just to wake up the mind and refresh the mind and relieve fatigue." Liang Shiyou said.

Master Liang likes to smoke snuff, and I have seen it with Tanzi in Xiushui Village, so I didn't pay much attention to it. But I hadn't paid attention to the snuffbox in his hand before, but now I suddenly became interested, and it looked like an old object.

I said to Mr. Liang, "Mr. Liang, your snuffbox is very exquisite, can you show me?" ”

Master Liang turned the snuffbox in his hand, glanced at me, and handed it over: "This is something handed down by the older generation, be careful, the gold is expensive!" ”

"It's just that I know that Jin Gui has to borrow it to take a look." I smiled as I took it. The snuffbox has a very simple style and a little yellowish color, which is indeed an antique. I flipped it through it in my hand and found that the snuffbox had a "lian" printed on the front and back. I know that in the past, some snuff smokers would get a good snuff bottle with their last name printed on it in order to declare the property right. But why did Mr. Liang hold the snuffbox of a man surnamed Lian?

"Mr. Liang, what does the word 'Lian' mean?" I asked casually as I handed the snuffbox back to Mr. Liang.

"Yes, uncle, I've always wondered why this snuffbox has a 'lian' on it? Moreover, there are still several old objects in the house that also have the word 'lian' on them, why is this? Liang Youcai also joined the ranks of asking questions.

Master Liang looked at us, then at Liang Youcai and asked him, "You want to know?" ”

Liang Youcai nodded: "I want to know!" ”
