Chapter 224: Eat Locusts!
Theoretically, locusts are herbivorous and carnivorous. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe locust plague is caused by herbivorous locusts. However, it is the gnats that eat meat, etc., and there will be no locust plague.
But the reality is brutal......
With the trend of global warming, the scale of locust plagues will become larger and larger in the future, which will have a serious impact on China's grain production.
And after mutation, even from time to time, the giant locusts that change their taste and eat meat are even more terrifying.
At this moment, almost every car in Zhu Zilong's convoy was hugged by thousands of N giant locusts, like a piece of pork belly crawling with ants.
It's like the bus that cracked wide open and broke into the locusts. There was a ticking sound of running water in the car, and a smell of urine filled the entire carriage.
Immediately after, a scream rang out. The entire carriage shook constantly, and from time to time blood splashed onto the windows. Soon, countless white bones and blood-stained rags were mixed all over the ground, and they were all killed!
And all this, all the people in the other vehicles did not know. Of course, even if you know, you probably won't be able to spare your hands to rescue. Because as long as the car door is opened, most other people will also be unable to protect themselves.
In the first year of Zhenyuan (785), the summer locust, the east from the sea, the west end of the river, covering the sky, the sun is endless. The grass and trees and animals are left behind, and they are hungry and die. In autumn, the locusts were fed up, and the people were hungry and hunted locusts for food.
(Song) Chunhua three years (992 years), June Jiashen, flying locusts from the northeast, covering the sky, through the southwest to go. It's raining heavily, and the locusts are dying. In autumn and July, locusts in Xu, Ru, Gon, Shan, Cang, Cai, Qi and Bei. There are locusts rising from the northeast and tending to the southwest, covering the sky like clouds and the sun...!
(Yuan) to the nineteenth year of Zheng (1353), in May, Shandong, Hedong, Henan, Guanzhong, locusts fly to cover the sky, people and horses can not walk, the ditch is flat. (Locusts) eat the crops and plants. As far as the sun goes, it hinders people and horses. Fill the trenches and make money. The hungry people hunt locusts for food, or they are dried up and accumulate ......!
Throughout China's history, major locust plagues have never been silenced. Small locust plagues are almost every year, but they are usually invisible, and that is because the government is governing, and the society has not collapsed.
However, now, hehehe!
Zhu Zilong's convoy of thousands of people could only hide in the car and resign himself to fate. More than a week passed before the locust tide flew away.
According to the convoy, more than 300 people died directly in the abdomen, dozens of people were seriously injured, more than 100 people were slightly injured, and nearly 1,000 people were frightened to varying degrees.
What a defenseless experience!
Looking at the locust plague in the distance, Zhu Zilong felt pessimistic in his heart. Is it easy for China to feed 22 percent of the world's population with 7 percent of the world's land?
The crops in the field that no one harvested in the wild are honestly also in the survivors, with Zhu Zilong's grain reserve plan. But if there are many waves of such insect tides, do you still want to have a harvest?
Cup, it seems that in the future, when the leftover food in the city is eaten, you can only return to the primitive society and eat what you see.
Monsters eat people, people eat monsters, and each other eats each other in a cycle. If you don't fight, you can only die!
There were also many locust carcasses at the site, the smallest of which was half a meter in size. This is supposed to be the locusts trampling each other to death, and it seems that everyone is not mixed up. Life is so fragile!
originally wanted to get on the road quickly, but in the blink of an eye, Zhu Zilong thought to himself.
Locusts are rich in protein, carbohydrates, insect hormones and other active substances, and contain vitamins A, B, C and phosphorus, calcium, iron, zinc, manganese and other trace elements, locusts are not only delicacies, but also curing diseases, have the effect of warming the stomach and ribs, strengthening the spleen and eliminating appetite, dispelling wind and relieving cough.
In this incident, not only did people die, but also lost part of the grain reserves. And the locust corpse is high in protein and low in fat, as long as you pay attention to the peculiar smell. It can be used as food for food, except that some people say disgusting things.
Hehe, Zhu Zilong just wanted to say that when there was no food to eat, even if it was, someone would grab it. You won't feel sick then!
-
It's just that when Zhu Zilong wanted to give such an order. I actually heard the roar of the plane taking off, from far and near, of course, this is obviously misheard!
Look up again, everyone is desperate!
Are you mistaken, just went through a wave of locust plagues, and another wave came? Still make people can't live?
In the distance, a yellow cloud flew over quickly on the horizon. Millions of finger-length locusts spread their wings and danced rapidly through the air, converging into a huge roar similar to that of an airplane taking off.
Well? Jing Ran is an ordinary locust that has not mutated, and this distorted world has not affected all insects?
After being reminded by Zhu Zilong, everyone took a closer look and saw it clearly. The look of despair in his eyes disappeared, if it was just an ordinary locust plague, then there would be no death. So, everyone hid in the car again.
Ten minutes later!
Countless normal-sized locusts, crashing into the body of the car or nearby objects, bang, bang, bang, bang,
The impact lasted for two or three hours before it gradually subsided. The green ground seemed to be covered with a yellow coat, and there were wriggling locusts everywhere, and broken branches fell from time to time on the tall canopy, and the fat branches that fell into the air quickly lost weight and became thinner, and when they landed, only bare branches without bark remained.
(The week before came was omnivorous, and part-time carnivorous mutant locusts, so I didn't eat a lot of plants.) And now the plants are growing like crazy, and soon the ground will be green again. At this time, the second wave of normal locusts, they are only vegetarians, which is just to their taste. ļ¼
These normal-sized locusts don't eat meat, but the sound of eating plants is just as creepy.
Zhu Zilong ordered, everyone can catch as much as they want. These can also be used as food, and tell your own guesses. When the people who didn't want to catch locusts heard this, a tangled look flashed on their faces, and they could only bite the bullet and start to catch insects.
Since Pegasi is not human, he has no aversion to eating bugs. He plucked a locust that was crawling on his body, felt the strong and powerful thighs of the locust, put it in his mouth and ate it, and said as he ate, "Well, it is very fat, and ten are enough to fill a man." Not bad, not bad, it tastes good! ā
The crowd ate melons at the scene, and several people vomited on the spot.
Zhu Zilong advocated using locusts as food in the future, but he didn't say that he would eat them raw. The corners of his mouth twitched, according to the original plan, he planned to remove the locusts he had caught from the most watery places. Using some equipment on the car, it is directly ground into powder. When I see the sun, I use the sunlight to dry on the top of the car, but in fact, when I am camping, I use the fire to dry most of the remaining water.
At dinner that day, Zhu Zilong sent dried locusts wrapped in eggs to his mouth in front of everyone. Clucking and chewing fried locusts as if you were eating KFC, take the lead!
After eating, I even picked my teeth, looking unfinished.
