Volume 5 The Curse of the Old Village_Chapter 297 The poisonous silkworm was caught
Fat Dahai and I continued to knock on those wine glasses in our hands, and our eyes followed the third uncle's gaze.
I saw that under the curtains, I don't know when, a swarthy insect had already appeared. I was so impressed by this bug, it was the kind that climbed on my face that day, that is, the poisonous silkworm that the third uncle said.
The insect was still alive, and although it was only a small insect, it crawled and raised its head high. I didn't pay any attention to the three people in this room.
It crawled for a distance, with a full posture, not like a worm, but a bit like a general inspecting a soldier.
I'm not sure if this is the one who poisoned me, because I can't tell what they look like. But it doesn't matter, what matters is whether we can catch them all tonight.
The black worm stopped when it crawled more than a meter away from the box containing mulberry leaves. It seems that those mulberry leaves really have a temptation for it, but it is still hesitating.
The third uncle hurriedly glanced at us.
Fat Dahai and I increased the frequency of tapping the wine glass with our hands at the same time, and the crisp percussion sound came and went, continuously.
I don't know if our percussion worked, but the poisonous silkworm suddenly raised half of its body and began to shake.
Immediately after, a terrifying scene happened. From the surroundings of this room, poisonous silkworms continued to crawl out, but what crawled out was no longer black insects, but black and white. You must know that our doors and windows are closed, and there are no gaps in the walls of the room, these poisonous silkworms seem to appear out of thin air, how did they come from? Where are you usually hiding?
Looking at these poisonous silkworms, I felt a wave of fear, which was simply unguardable. As they stand, they simply appear whenever they want, and disappear whenever they want. If I don't catch them tonight, I'm afraid I won't dare to live in this house anymore.
Those black and white poisonous silkworms soon gathered around the first poisonous silkworm.
At this time, the mosquitoes and flies that had been messed up in the glass bottle entered a state of madness. They seem to have the maximum energy in their bodies, and whether they are flying or crawling, they are flying and crawling at twice the usual speed. Apparently they felt the threat and fear brought to them by the poisonous silkworms.
It's just that those poisonous silkworms don't pay attention to those mosquitoes and flies at all. The poisonous silkworm at the head raised its head and took the lead in crawling towards the glass box containing mulberry leaves. The other poisonous silkworms also followed, forming a column and burrowing in from the entrance of the box.
The chest was a special mechanism, and the small door at the entrance was open inward, and after entering, it would be tried out again, unless the small door was pushed open from outside.
The design of this mechanism is extremely simple, and it is simply not worth mentioning in the human mind. But sure enough, as the third uncle said, no matter how powerful these poisonous insects are, they are just some insects. After we disconnected them from the insect master, they couldn't resist the temptation of those mulberry leaves, and they couldn't see that this simple mechanism couldn't be simpler
their threat.
When all the poisonous silkworms we saw entered the glass box, the mosquitoes and flies in the bottle also changed. The mosquitoes and flies, which were still crazy, suddenly calmed down, and a large number of mosquitoes and reptiles landed at the bottom of the glass bottle. The wings and feet of the insects were shaking slightly, but they didn't have the strength to fly again.
Seeing this scene, the third uncle let out a sigh of relief, climbed down from the bed, lifted the red cloth from the glass box, and shouted, "Turn on the lights." ”
Fat Dahai and I stopped tapping on our hands, I rubbed my sore arm, and went over to turn on the room light.
Under the ample light, I found the poisonous silkworms in the glass box eating the mulberry leaves frantically.
That's when I really realized what cannibalization is. Although it seems that they don't eat mulberry leaves very much, they don't see how to speak. But I saw that those mulberry leaves were getting fewer and fewer, and it took less than five minutes for the thick layer of mulberry leaves to be eaten clean by several poisonous silkworms inside.
After the poisonous silkworms ate all the mulberry leaves, they searched around and found themselves trapped in a glass box, and became more and more crazy. They actually started to threaten us. Since it was separated by a glass panel, I had the courage to get closer and observe. I found that in their small mouths, I could see thin teeth.
I was thrilled, and I had an inexplicable fear of this little bug.
I counted it, and there were a total of eight poisonous silkworms inside, four black and four white.
I broke out in a cold sweat, and there were eight poisonous insects hidden in my house. It sends chills down my spine just thinking about it.
The third uncle looked at those poisonous insects and nodded: "These poisonous insects can't be kept, they must be completely destroyed." ”
Fat Dahai said: "Third uncle, it's not difficult, just a few bugs, let's squash them, and when they don't converge, don't we just separate their bodies?" ”
"Nope." The third uncle waved his hand: "Then it won't be called a complete annihilation, it will only cause more trouble." I thought about it for a while, these poisonous insects are cultivated by special methods, not ordinary silkworms, and ordinary methods will definitely not be able to help them. It's like if you squat them and separate them won't help. Because their bodies have the potential to regenerate. But I know that they must have their weaknesses, that is, there are things that restrain them. And these things that restrain them are nothing more than the five elements, that is, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. ”
I nodded: "The third uncle's meaning is to use one of the five elements to deal with these poisonous silkworms." ”
"That's right. Anyway, our life is quite peaceful during this time, so let's have fun with these bugs today. ”
As he spoke, the third uncle took out a long-handled wooden tweezers, these things were bought by Chen Tao during the day. It seems that the third uncle has already made plans.
The third uncle put the tweezers into the glass box, trying to clip a poisonous silkworm out.
Who knew that as soon as his tweezers reached in, those poisonous silkworms reacted. They spat out a thin thread of silk from their mouths, and the threads soon wound around their bodies and turned into a silkworm chrysalis. It's just that they spit out the color of the threads and themselves
The body is the opposite. The white poisonous silkworm turned into a black silkworm chrysalis, and the black poisonous silkworm became a white silkworm chrysalis.
The third uncle didn't care about it, and directly clamped a silkworm chrysalis of a poisonous silkworm out. The silkworm chrysalis had not yet hardened completely, and it was writhing violently on the tweezers.
The third uncle had a cold face and said: "Among the five elements, water and fire are ruthless, try water and fire first." ”
We poured water into the basin according to the instructions of the third uncle, and the third uncle pinched the poisonous silkworm with tweezers and dipped it into the water.
The poisonous silkworm's chrysalis was like a protective film, placed under water, still writhing and struggling violently. Apparently this thing is not afraid of water.
Then the third uncle lit a brazier and burned the chrysalis of the poisonous silkworm.
As a result, the poisonous silkworm looked more energetic.
The third uncle gritted his teeth angrily: "This thing is really evil." I'm not afraid of fire and water, how did I come up with this? ”
Fat Dahai said: "Aren't there three more?" Jin Mu Tu, try again. ”
The third uncle shook his head: "These clamps are made of wood, when I put them in, they didn't mean to dodge, it seems that wood is not a threat to them." ”
"Then there's only gold and earth left, how do you try this?"
