It's just a long drought and a rainy day.

Grunt.

I wanted to take a small sip, but Liang Dan, who had already dried his lips, couldn't help but take one more sip.

Feeling the thermos cup with her hands gradually getting lighter, Liang Dan realized that she seemed to have drunk too much.

The devil knows how long it will take to find the termite nest, and this time he drank most of the water, and he won't die of thirst on the road.

Li Xiuli looked at Liang Dan as if he hadn't had a drop of water for three days, he didn't want to disturb people.

The water cup was handed over by herself, and she didn't declare it, so she could only give her as much to drink.

Looking at this posture, I'm afraid I won't stop until I finish drinking.

The lips on both sides fit, and the corners of Li Xiuli's mouth are a little dry.

Just take a sip of warm water, which will be dried up by the hot weather again.

After drinking three sips of water in one go, Liang Dan suddenly realized that she had drunk a little too much, and she rolled her eyes and looked at Li Xiuli on the side.

"It's okay, you drink slowly, just leave a little for me."

"I can't imagine that Dr. Li is a person who is self-sacking, so good!" At this time, the staff member who had been watching the movement around him smiled.

He was not tall, but had a strong body, short hair, and wore a white shirt with short sleeves.

The muscles of his arms were so strong that his white short sleeves almost turned into tights.

"Uncle Zhao, I'm just too thirsty." Liang Dan hurriedly stopped, she put down the water cup she was holding in both hands, and then handed it in the direction of Li Xiuli.

Seeing this, Li Xiuli reached out and grabbed his water cup.

Holding the water cup in one hand, you can clearly feel that the water in the water cup is less than two-thirds of the original water.

"Haha. The little girl's family is watery, and her body is full of water, and she must have more water to be white and tender." Zhao Jianguo smiled, he put the bucket in his hand in the dry land, and then grabbed the shovel with both hands.

The small shovel is not big or long, and the length is about half a meter.

Zhao Jianguo is a breeding base, and the temporary workers recruited are mainly responsible for the rough work on weekdays.

After all, the breeding base has a lot of materials to prepare, and it can't be without employees.

And Liang Dan and Cui Lang, these researchers, are doing research in the breeding base on weekdays, and they are all flowers in the greenhouse, how can they afford these rough and tiring work.

Today, Zhao Jianguo came out to help Li Xiuli and others dig termite nests.

"Uncle Zhao, are you going to dig on the spot?" Cui Lang looked at Zhao Jianguo in disbelief, and he glanced left and right at his surroundings.

The ground was covered with mossy fields that had long since been dry and even partially yellowed and withered, except for a tree trunk that had long since decayed.

Mossy fields indicate that the land and air are moist in late spring and early summer, when there is a lot of rain.

Termites live in a relatively humid underground, and such an excessively humid area is extremely unsuitable for termite survival.

He knows a lot about termites, at least he thinks that in the entire breeding base, the one who can compare with him is Director Qin.

Director Qin's identity is special, and he is also old, so he is not suitable for a few tosses in the barren mountains and mountains.

"Just try." Zhao Jianguo, as his name suggests, acts like building the motherland.

Meticulous and positive, that's what characterizes him as an older generation.

The shovel fell, and the mud rustled.

A handful of dirt was shoveled aside, Zhao Jianguo worked hard to excavate, and after a while, the excavated soil was piled up into a hill.

"Uncle Zhao, if you dig aimlessly like this, it will only consume your energy and physical strength in vain, and now that the drinking water is insufficient, don't mess around." Cui Lang looked at Zhao Jianguo's hard work and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Director Cui, you just have a good rest, and leave all this dirty and tiring work to me." Although Cui Lang communicated with him in a not very friendly tone, the latter was already several levels higher than himself, and he smiled innocently, "Maybe there will be a miracle."

"Whatever you want!" After Cui Lang left a sentence, he walked towards a place a few meters away.

Over there, there's a big rock, perfect for a butt to sit and rest.

Li Xiuli put away the thermos cup in his hand, and he looked at Liang Dan, "This big tree is estimated to have fallen to the ground for thirty or forty years."

"Oh, really?" Liang Dan was a little surprised, she lowered her head and looked at the rotten tree trunks on the ground, a little incredible.

She is a PhD student in agriculture and has some knowledge of the decay of trees, and can probably estimate the year the tree died.

But Li Xiuli's estimation results are basically consistent with his own results, which is strange.

Could it be that to learn Chinese medicine, you still need to learn some agricultural knowledge?

Isn't it necessary to learn some knowledge of Chinese medicine to learn Chinese medicine?

Isn't TCM also an agricultural product?

At this time, she could only comfort herself like this.

Li Xiuli put the backpack and bucket in his hand in the dry mud, and then sat down on the rotten tree trunk.

The trunk of the tree is creaky and may burst at any time.

But Li Xiuli is not the same thing at all.

Zhao Jianguo was dripping with sweat, and soon his white short sleeves were wet and became slimy.

The small mound beside him had become a large mound, and he himself had stepped on a pit that was knee-high above his own knees.

The brown dirt mixed with fine grains of sand rustled down with a small shovel.

"Uncle Zhao, how can there be termites in such a place." Cui Lang, who had a big stone on his buttocks, looked in the direction of Zhao Jianguo, he took off the cowboy hat he was wearing on the top of his head, and fanned it against his hot cheeks, "Don't waste your strength, we will have to hurry later, if we look for him for another hour and a half, and we haven't found termites, we will go back."

"Okay." Zhao Jianguo, who was sweating profusely, continued to dig while responding.

Cui Lang chose not to deal with Zhao Jianguo. For Zhao Jianguo, a temporary worker who can only do things stupidly, his kind words and persuasion have no effect, so let him play with mud by himself.

Li Xiuli and Liang Dan were side by side, and they looked at Zhao Jianguo, who was digging at the same time.

Liang Dan had a faint smile on her face, and she secretly glanced at Li Xiuli on the side from time to time.

Why did this Dr. Li have to bring us here, is there anything special about this place?

Liang Dan was very curious, but he didn't want to ask anything.

Before leaving, Li Xiuli had already told everyone that he had been here with three or five friends before and had seen a kind of termite with dark skin.

This kind of termite is black and black, a bit like a marching ant, if it is not for its appearance to meet the characteristics of ordinary termites, I am afraid that it will be mistaken for an ordinary ant by Li Xiuli and others.

As time goes on, the memories of this black termite also fade more and more.

If it weren't for this visit to the breeding base, I heard Liang Dan complain that the number of termites in the breeding base is insufficient, and the termites bred by themselves in the base are far from enough, and the base has increased its efforts to find wild termites in the outside world, as well as to purchase termites captured by nearby people.

People in Yicheng, where there is experience in catching termites, there are few enterprises that breed termites in the country.

This kind of underground creature that is harmful to humans and animals, everyone sees it and kills it, and they can't wait to pick up a basin of hot water and pour it into the termite burrow to prevent future troubles.

Suddenly, Li Xiuli had a little inspiration, could he open a company that breeds termites, and then sell these termites to the breeding base?

The difficulty of removing the breeding can be whether the policy allows it, and it should be feasible to breed termites!

The more than 30 pangolins in the breeding base are all big foodies, and the number of termites consumed every day is staggering.

Li Xiucheng got up, and his eyes always fell on Zhao Jianguo.

The rotten trunk of the tree, the moment Li Xiuli stood up, the thick layer of soil hidden on its surface loosened, and the yellowed and shriveled moss fell off, revealing the original outline of the trunk.

The trunk of the tree suddenly tilted in the direction of Liang Dan, and at the same time there was a low rattling sound.

"Huh!" Liang Dan panicked, and she grabbed Li Xiuli's right hand.

Subsequently, she was driven by Li Xiuli's inertia and also stood up.

Her plump buttocks resemble two hills against the blue denim, but there are a lot of yellow moss on top of the hills.

Underneath the moss, is gray earth. The dirt was loose and soon fell to the ground with a stumbling as the hips swayed.

Bang Bang Bang!

Liang Dan looked innocent, just now, she was almost yin by the hateful Li Xiuli, but fortunately, she was quick to reach out and grab Li Xiuli, otherwise she might really sit on the ground and fall with her head up.

"Dandan, are you alright?" Li Xiuli was surprised. The two of them sat at one end just now, and it stands to reason that such a thick trunk, even if it is rotten to this day, will not be so dilapidated.

Only the inside of the trees is completely corroded!

Surprised, Li Xiuli hurriedly turned to look at the rotten wood behind him, he picked up the shovel on the ground, held the handle with both hands, held the shovel high, and slashed down at the middle of the rotten wood, "Dandan, get out of the way!"

Liang Dan was stunned, she couldn't understand what Li Xiuli was doing for a while, but she probably knew what Li Xiuli had discovered.

She began to follow Li Xiuli, staring at the rotten wood that had been dusted by the two of them with her tired and surprised eyes.

The shovel was upright, and a shovel was cut on the rotten wood.

With a loud bang, the earth deposited on the surface of the entire rotten wood was thrown into the sky, and the rotten wood itself was cut off by the waist.

When Zhao Jianguo and Cui Lang heard the sound, they saw a thick tree trunk broken in two at once, and the wooden parts of the broken ends on both sides had already been blurred.

It is not caused by being cut off by a shovel, but by some external cause of decay.

The eyesight of the two of them was not bad, and they could easily see that the broken end of the rotten wood had dense passages the size of little fingers, and there were some shadowy black dots.

These black dots are becoming dense and swaying back and forth.

Alive!

These dense black spots of activity evoke Li Xiuli's old memories. He threw away the shovel in his hand, took a step ahead, and crouched to take a closer look.

Zhao Jianguo and Cui Lang, who were blocked by Li Xiuli's back, hurriedly ran over, and they looked at Li Xiuli with a bewildered look as he reached out to visit these black spots that were so numb that his scalp was numb.

"Wow!" Liang Dan, who was watching the play on the side, exclaimed, and she circled around the rotten wood section and squatted opposite Li Xiuli.

She raised her right hand and reached out to comb the chestnut hair that was blocking her vision behind her neck, "I found black termites!"

"Dandan, you can actually step directly over the trunk." Li Xiuli raised his head and looked at Liang Dan, who was also squatting.

Liang Dan's smile stopped abruptly, her face flushed, her cheeks puffed out, and she deliberately avoided Li Xiuli's ridiculous gaze, "Hmph! I can do whatever I like!"

Li Xiuli lowered his head and reached out to grab one.

Liang Dan's eyes glanced at Li Xiuli, only to see that Li Xiuli didn't look at himself anymore.

Her flushed face suddenly dissipated, as if a child with febrile convulsions had been bled by Shi Xuan, "Doctor Li, remember to wear gloves!"

Li Xiuli's arm fell, and two fingers scratched at these black termites.

Wearing a condom or something, I don't like it the most!

The black soldier ants, which roam around the black termite team and are significantly larger than the worker ants, seem to have noticed that danger is approaching. Instead of wandering, they chose to lift their massive heads and open their large, horribly hard palates. ζ°. XX.♂

"Hey, Sample, you dare to fight back!" Li Xiuli grinned, pinched his fingers lightly, and easily pinched one of the most courageous soldier ants, "Ants also dare to be arrogant in front of giants!"

Cui Lang's face was pale, and just now, he complained vigorously that Zhao Jianguo's every move was purely a waste of labor.

In the next second, his iron-blue face quickly dissipated and turned into excitement.

He has seen hundreds of species of termites more or less, but this kind of termites are extremely unfamiliar to him, a termite expert, in terms of morphology and living habits.

That is, it is highly likely that they have found an undiscovered population of termites.

His palms grew cold, but he didn't care about it so much, but took off his backpack, unzipped it, and took out a small specimen bag from a small pocket on the inner layer of the backpack.

In the specimen bag, there is a test tube.

Wearing disposable gloves and holding tweezers in his hand, Cui Lang seemed to calmly pick up the little termites.

Worker ants and soldier ants have caught a lot, but I didn't see the ant king and queen.

But it doesn't matter, these termites are enough for him to take back for identification.

If a new species is discovered, he has the right to name the new species, and may even enter the Huaxia Academy of Engineering because of the discovery of a new species, becoming a figure like Director Qin.

Cui Lang, who was happy in his heart, saw Liang Dan looking at him suspiciously, he pretended to be calm, "Senior sister, do you have something?"

"Senior, is there anything different about these termites? Why do you have to bring it back to study?"

Cui Lang was stunned for a moment, his smile turned into a stiff smile, he put away the open test tube in his hand, plugged the cork with the vent hole back, and then put it in the specimen bag.

As for the specimen bag, in order to prevent termites from suffocating, the opening above the specimen bag was not pinched.

These small details were seen by Liang Dan.

Liang Dan was stunned, a little confused about the intentions of this senior brother.

If you really go back to research, you don't have to start shaking your arms like you see gold, right?

"These termites are black, I've seen them before, and I want to see which kind of termites I've seen." He said it plainly and naturally.

"Trouble Uncle Zhao to catch more termites." After Li Xiuli gave the order, he stood up, took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, opened the browser, and swept the termites in his hand, "This still needs to be brought back for study, just use Du Niang." Scan it with your phone and you'll know which one it is."
