Looking at the Ma Lanhua blooming halfway up the cliff not far away, Wang Manyin's heart moved.

He took a few steps back and spat in both palms. Then he bent down and ran for a run, and by inertia, ran straight to the edge of the cliff.

When I returned, I had one of the most vivid Ma Lanhua in my hand.

The orchid reached out and took it sweetly, and stuck it diagonally in her hair. Her skin is already good, especially in the past half a year, she has been guarding the consignment point, and she has not suffered much in the field, and the whole person has become more and more white.

Of course, there is also a reason for the space spring.

At this moment, the white face, a big black and beautiful braid, and the flowers of Lan Ge Yingying make the whole person a little more bright.

For a while, Wang Manyin was stunned.

"What do you see, you've been married for a few months, and you haven't seen enough?" Seeing her husband staring at her stupidly, Orchid spoke a little shyly.

"I haven't seen enough, it's good for a lifetime."

Wang Manyin shook his head, and couldn't help but sing at the top of his voice: "The blue line of the blue line, the color of Lan Ge Yingying, gave birth to an orchid flower, and he really loves to death!" The seedlings in the five grains, only the sorghum is high, the daughter of the thirteen provinces, count my orchid flowers......

Wang Manyin's voice was barely audible, but it revealed the feelings in the song.

This is the charm of Xintianyou, and when you think about it, you will sing it naturally.

Orchid could sense this heart, and couldn't help but clear her throat, took her husband's hand and responded: "Flowers bloom on the cliffside, and the suffering people look forward to that good situation. The one with the wheat yellow green yarn is tall, do you see my sister, my Da'er, oh?"

The voice of his mother-in-law was crisp and crisp, like the chirping of a lark in the mountains, tactful and smooth.

Since he was on the song, of course Wang Manyin didn't admit it, and immediately followed the next: "It's really good to come here, godgirl, you walk like you're floating on water."

"Mali is not ordinarily tall in horse, and the number of people is good for my brother......

After singing a piece of Xintianyou, the two looked at each other and smiled.

But the big yellow dog next to him had question marks written on his head, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at his master, not knowing what they were doing.

"Hey, who should I be singing sour songs? You're so idle, run outside and pick up it. If you have this kung fu to go back and close the door of the cave, what do you want......" At this time, a joking voice suddenly came out.

Then, I saw the figure of an aunt in the village appear from the opposite platform, holding a sickle in her hand.

The customs of Yuanxi County are very strange, saying that they are conservative and very conservative, and that they are very open. There are not so many taboos between men and women, especially for married mothers-in-law and aunts, it is purely normal for them to speak with a little color. It can also be regarded as adding some fun to the days of the suffering.

It's like a pot of authentic haggis soup, without the pepper for decoration, there is a little less taste.

When Wang Manyin first came to this world, he was a little uncomfortable.

Now he is accustomed to these bold words, and he is accustomed to the response: "It's boring to be at home, it's better to be outside." The sky should be a quilt, and the earth should be a bed......

Before he finished speaking, he was screwed by his mother-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Orchid shyly diverted the topic.

"What can I do, I'll pick a few handfuls of alfalfa sprouts on the plateau, and I'm going to go back and dry them into dried vegetables to keep eating." The other party opened his mouth to respond. ….

For those who suffer, alfalfa is a food that can be used as both food and vegetables.

Accompanied by sorghum noodles is vegetable dumplings, vegetable gnocchi. Put it in a pot of boiling water for a while, and you can make it into a cold dish, or eat it with mixed noodles.

However, alfalfa is generally picked in the spring stubble shoots, and now it is considered a second stubble, the alfalfa stalks become hard, and you can't pinch them with your hands, and the leaves are bitter to eat.

Of course, for farmers, it is enough to fill their stomachs, where can they manage so much.

After chatting with each other for a few words, the two of them looked for the scorpion along the cliff ditch.

Although there are many scorpions on the Loess Plateau, they also pay attention to skills. If you don't find the right place, it's good to catch a few in half a day.

Before and after the ambush,

These guys usually hide in sunny cliffs.

This is especially true in places where the ground is moist and there are a lot of dead weeds.

There are a variety of insects that are the food source of the scorpions.

In addition, scorpions are photophobic and generally hide in their burrows to rest during the day. At night, they will take advantage of the night to come out to forage for food, which is also the best time to catch.

It's a pity that there are no purple lights in this era, and most people don't even have flashlights, so they can only be busy during the day.

Fortunately, as long as you keep your eyes open, you can still find the scorpion hole during the day.

Scorpion burrows are quite different from other insect nests. They prefer to hide in the crevices of the natural loess, and very visible patches of white droppings can be seen around them.

The color is much like lime, the size of a coin.

As long as this kind of feces is found, there is a high probability that there are scorpions around. Generally speaking, they are hiding in the crevices of the loess. As long as you peel off the loess, you can catch it smoothly.

According to this method, Wang Manyin soon discovered a scorpion hole.

As the cracks in the loess were dug open, a yellow-brown creature was revealed, crawling with teeth and claws.

He took the chopsticks and quickly fell, then grabbed the body of the scorpion and smoothly put it into the canned bottle.

Then, continue to the next place.

In just half an hour, Wang Manyin caught three scorpions, and a big female scorpion could be sold for two cents.

He straightened down, ready to look for something else.

I heard the orchid behind him shout in surprise: "Man Yin, hurry up and come and see the rhubarb, it will catch scorpions?!"

Rhubarb catches scorpions, what a joke.

Catching a rabbit is more reliable than a scorpion, are you sure you won't be stung by the other party?

Wang Manyin was puzzled and hurriedly ran towards his aunt.

When I got closer, I saw rhubarb sniffing at a cliffside crevice. In just half a minute, a fat female scorpion escaped from inside.

The orchid eye is quick, and she quickly grabbed it with her chopsticks and put it in the canned bottle next to her.

"What's going on?" Wang Manyin was also confused.

Rhubarb's performance is becoming more and more bewitching, just lean over and smell it a few times, and you can drive the scorpion out?

However, that's not the end of it.

I saw that rhubarb continued to sniff, and soon another scorpion appeared.

The third, fourth......

Wang Manyin and Orchid glanced at each other, with incredible excitement on their faces.

This is...... Found the scorpion nest!

The scorpions they had found before were solitary, but they were actually grouped arthropods (just learned that scorpions weren't insects). In the natural environment, they like to nest together, often a nest can have a dozen, more than twenty or thirty. ….

There are male and female, big and small, just like a big family. Members rely on their sense of smell to distinguish smells, live in harmony with each other, and rarely kill each other.

If an alien scorpion invades, they will also fight together to drive each other away or kill each other.

So if you find the scorpion nest, you will definitely make a fortune.

The two of them stayed next to the rhubarb, and in just ten minutes, they caught more than a ten, which was much more efficient than before.

"Manyin, why do you say it? When the rhubarb smells it, the scorpion escapes?" Looking at the little ones in the cans and bottles, the orchid still feels incredible.

Rhubarb was able to spot a scorpion nest, and she didn't find it strange. Because this guy has a keen sense of smell and can smell extremely subtle smells. But to be able to drive the scorpion out, Orchid couldn't figure it out at all.

"I guess it's the blow, or the smell." Wang Manyin replied uncertainly.

He was also thinking about this question just now, and deliberately observed the whole process of rhubarb chasing scorpions.

It has been noticed that when the earth dog leans its head to sniff, it will also make a rapid breathing sound.

Scorpions are afraid of the wind!

When people catch it, they usually encounter a scorpion running away, and as long as they use their mouths to get close to blow air, they can make this little guy stand still immediately.

Of course, this is in the open area.

Like the loess crevices in front of you, the blowing results are naturally different. Rhubarb breathes through his nose, and the air flow goes directly into the gap, blowing away the scorpions hiding inside. Because they are not only afraid of the wind, but also of earthquakes.

Of course, it's also possible that the smell is at fault. Scorpions' sense of smell is also very sensitive to some smells, such as kerosene, paint, asphalt, fertilizer, quicklime, etc...... When they encounter them, they will immediately panic and run away.

In addition, there is a special sesame oil, scorpions are very fond of this smell, and they will run out immediately when they smell it. Therefore, in later generations, in addition to using purple lamps, people also like to use sesame oil lamps to trap.

Of course, Wang Manyin is not an animal expert, and there is no way to draw an accurate conclusion about what caused the scorpion to escape from the hole. Just know that it's definitely a good thing for them.

Next, the two of them no longer worked hard to dig the cracks of the loess, and worked directly behind the rhubarb.

As soon as he walked some distance forward, the guy smelled the scent again and slowly leaned his head over.

The place is relatively secluded, with a tuft of maru growing around it.

In order to prevent the rhubarb from being punctured by the thorns, Wang Manyin deliberately used a shovel to cut off a lot of Ma Ru stalks. After cleaning up the surrounding environment, he noticed that there were a lot of scorpion droppings left on the loess mound next to him.

Sure enough, as the rhubarb blew, a scorpion crawled out in a panic.

The two squatted beside them, and soon caught more than a dozen more.

They searched along the entire cliff and ditch, but in an hour's effort, they found three scorpion holes and caught more than forty of them. After calculation, the net income is five cents, which is worth the income of a laborer for a day's work.

The point is, the money came easily, with little effort.

It's really good to have hands!

"Full silver, if we continue like this, we are afraid that we can earn five dollars a day."

After thinking about it in her heart, Orchid was frightened by this "amazing" number, and even felt a little incredible. You must know that you guard the consignment point, and the commission is only seven or eight yuan a month.

"Low-key, low-key. Rhubarb can catch scorpions, so don't tell anyone else." Wang Manyin solemnly advised.

This guy's performance is already too bewitching, so it's better to keep a low profile.

Another day, such a big income, spreading it will definitely attract people's eyes.

"I know," Orchid nodded.

After seeing too many things, Orchid now remembers her husband's words. He seems to be very low-key in everything he does, and he is careful everywhere, and he never dares to talk about his real situation with outsiders.
