Chapter 095: Don't throw torches in the field

Dividing the bamboo into bamboo strips with a diameter of one centimeter, Ning Bei shook it a few times.

It is resilient enough to cope with a large number of locusts.

The bamboo leaves left over from the bamboo are also used in Ningbei, and he asked Liu Cunzheng's grandson to find some cypress oil, and he can put the bamboo leaves into the asphalt when he turns around.

Because asphalt is enough deadly venom for locusts.

They never eat anything that has anything to do with cedar oil.

After that, Ningbei began to weave hemp rope again.

Because to make a large net, he didn't need too thick hemp rope.

It is also inconvenient to catch locusts with hemp rope that is too thick, so the thinner the rope used to make a large net, the better.

What's more, as long as the hemp rope is stained with cypress oil, the locusts will not dare to bite the net rope.

Because Liu Cunzheng was ringing the bell before, Liu Cunzheng's family didn't fall asleep.

The little grandson has been sent to work by Ningbei, and Liu Cunzheng's granddaughter is not idle, she rubs the twine into a twine of less than a millimeter according to Ningbei's instructions.

This kind of work is a pinch for her.

Liu Cunzheng also helped with the fine twine.

Ningbei may be very slow to work alone, but the speed at which three people work is very fast.

After a while, all the twine in Liu Cunzheng's house was used up.

Although it is not a lot, looking at the quantity, it can also be made into a large net with a length and width of more than ten meters.

The preliminary preparations for the weaving of the net are considered complete.

Ningbei began to compile a large network.

Because the locusts were not large, the large grids he made had to be dense enough.

Otherwise, even if you catch the locusts, you can let them escape.

But if you make that kind of dense net with a small grid, these twine are really not enough!

At this time, bamboo leaves have a use.

He can sew bamboo leaves on the net, which perfectly solves the problem of insufficient twine.

Bamboo leaves are relatively tough leaves, and after they are done, they can be drizzled with some cypress oil, which is enough to use for two months.

This is long enough time to solve the locust plague in Xiaolianzi Village!

The hemp ropes were sorted in turn, and Ningbei began to weave a large net.

Although Liu Cunzheng's granddaughter can also spin clothes, she has never made such a big net.

So she chose to watch quietly from the sidelines.

I don't know if I'm looking at the Internet or people.

Because of the experiments that had been done at home before, Ningbei weaved a net, and the speed was also very fast.

After a while, a large net with a length and width of ten meters was made by Ningbei.

The mesh on the net is covered with bamboo leaves in Ningbei.

Thanks to the large bamboo forest behind Liu Cunzheng's house, otherwise just the right bamboo leaves would be enough for Ningbei to search for a long time.

Put the prepared big net into the asphalt and soak, Ningbei was not idle, and put the bamboo strips one by one.

Wait until the net is almost soaked, and then sew the bamboo strips.

In this way, a large net to catch locusts is considered to be done.

And because the materials used in Ningbei are very light, even two people can operate this big net.

Of course, the premise is that Ningbei is still teaching them how to use nets to trap locusts.

Its practical rice milk can also stick to a large number of locusts, but the problem is that the people of Xiaolianzi Village can't even eat, where can they get rice or flour?

Even if there is, Ningbei is reluctant to use it.

He had been in the Tang Dynasty for several days, and he had eaten pasta once when he entered the county......

As for meat, I also ate tiger meat, mutton and fish......

Oh, and locusts are also eaten for meat.

How do you think about thinking that there is still some Versailles?

No longer thinking about those sad pasts, Ning Bei took the big net that had just been made and went to the field.

At this moment, women are also carrying torches and walking towards the fields.

Because the number of locusts this time is more than last time, they may not be able to burn them to death alone.

The main reason is that the fields are too big, and there are only those people in the prime of life in Xiaolianzi Village.

When Ningbei walked to the field, he saw the villagers jumping and jumping as if they had fallen into an evil spirit, waving the two torches in their hands.

It's not that they're performing some mysterious ritual, they're just doing it to burn more locusts and prevent sparks from falling on themselves and in the fields.

If you don't burn the locusts and set your own land on fire, it will be more than worth the loss......

Therefore, the villagers are also cautious when burning locusts.

"The Great Benefactor is here!"

I don't know who saw Ning Bei and shouted at the top of his throat.

The other villagers all looked at Ningbei and smiled innocently.

"Good morning, benefactor...... Hey, it's not ...... morning."

"Benefactor, you're still here! I'll tell you you you don't use it! ”

"Benefactor, you don't have to come here, we can deal with these locusts!"

"Yes, yes, we can handle it, we have burned a lot of locusts."

“……”

The villagers continued to burn the locusts as they spoke.

Ning Bei responded casually with a smile, and then said to Ergou:

"Ergou, come over here."

"Great benefactor, what is the matter with you?"

Ergou walked over.

Ning Bei pointed to the big net in his hand and said a few words to Ergou.

The second dog understands it.

Then the two came to the field of the second dog.

Let the people around them dodge, and the two began to wait patiently.

Perhaps the locusts were aware of the danger of the surrounding fields, but there was no fire in Ergou's fields.

For a while, countless locusts rushed to Ergou's field.

Seeing his crops being eaten by locusts, Ergou's heart was also very painful.

These are the rations of his family!

But thinking of what Ning Bei said just now, he also endured his distress, and then waited patiently.

Although the other villagers were curious about why Ning Bei and Ergou didn't work, but squatted patiently on the ground, they thought that Ning Bei must have his reasons for doing this, and the villagers didn't say anything.

They worked harder and harder to drive away the locusts in their fields, burning the locusts.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Seeing that a thick layer of dense locusts had emerged from the field of Ergou's house, Ningbei roared!

"Cast the net!"

As he spoke, the two of them stood up abruptly and threw out the big net in their hands.

When Ningbei shouted, the locusts eating grain in the field had actually noticed that something was wrong.

As soon as they were about to fly, they were caught in a large net.

For a time, countless locusts were covered in a big net!

The villagers who burned the locusts next to them were stunned, because the surrounding locusts were all coming towards Ergou's field, so these villagers had nothing to do.

They waited for Ningbei to speak, and then rushed into Ergou's field and burned all the locusts to death.

However, who could have imagined that this would be the case!

Anyway, where did Ningbei get such a big net!

Why didn't they notice it just now......

How exaggerated is the number of locusts?

If it weren't for Ning Bei and Ergou tightly pinching the edge of the big net, these locusts might be able to fly with the net!

But even with Ning Bei and Ergou, the operation is very weak.

Seeing that the surrounding villagers were all blindfolded, Ning Bei shouted repeatedly:

"Everyone, come and help, get the net under control! Now we can wipe out all the locusts! ”

"Oh, it's coming!"

"Benefactor wait for me, I'll be there soon!"

"Wait for me, I'll burn these locusts and come to help!"

Only then did the villagers react and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Seeing that some villagers even threw the torches in their hands, Ning Bei hurriedly shouted:

"Don't throw torches in the fields! Seturi! ”

His purpose in catching these locusts was to protect the food, which would be destroyed by the villagers if it was accidentally burned by the villagers......
