"Herb? Honeycomb?"
What does it mean
"Loss..." The pastor couldn't connect the two things for a while, "...what does picking herbs have to do with beehives?"
"Uh...Master, in fact, these two least medicinal herbs can be found a lot next to the beehive..." Wu Qingchen first explained, and then shook his head regretfully: "It's just...it's too difficult to pick."
"Too hard to pick? Because bees bite?"
It is normal for bees to bite people, but... what the pastor couldn't understand was, "If a bee bites a person, can't you run away after picking the herbs?"
"No, the herb is too close to the beehive. Once you pick the herb, the bees will chase you..."
Wu Qingchen showed a look of lingering fear at the right time: "When I went to pick it for the first time, I was almost targeted by bees..."
"So dangerous?" The pastor frowned slightly, "Are you alright?"
From the subsequent questioning, it can be seen that the pastor did not disbelieve Wu Qingchen's words, but the incidents of bees chasing people did happen relatively rarely.
"I'm fine...but it's really dangerous!"
Wu Qingchen has very direct evidence: "When I was looking for medicinal herbs in the forest just now, I passed by several beehives. Alvin didn't believe it, so he ran to pick the medicinal herbs, but he was actually bitten by a bee, and he chased him for a long, long time. A lot of big bags were bitten out."
"A lot of big bags..." Master Praia knew the pain of being stung by a bee, "Is Alvin okay?"
"It shouldn't be a big deal..." Wu Qingchen said pitifully, "I let him go home by himself..."
"Poor Alvin, may the Lord bless him."
The pastor bowed his head and said a few prayers, and sighed: "...Los, you did a good job. After all, Alvin was bitten by bees for picking herbs... Well, Rose, when you go back, tell him by the way, let him Lie down well, he won't have to go to the summer service in a few days."
"Okay, master, I'll tell him later... Lucky Alvin, he will be deeply grateful for your kindness..." Wu Qingchen said sincerely.
Poor Alvin, lucky Alvin, not only the master will remember you, but the people of the earth will also remember your contribution!
For the Earth team, "Wu Qingchen was chased" is obviously a lie, "Alvin was chased" is an inevitability.
The two herbs selected by the Earth Staff Group are indeed more suitable for the environment closer to the beehive, and they are more likely to attract bee attacks.
However, in the life experience of the aborigines in the medieval world, bees should be a relatively gentle animal, and in most cases, they would not actively attack humans.
Because of this, in order to minimize the possibility of the pastor being suspicious, when Wu Qingchen led the police officers and helpers to search for medicinal herbs, through the arrangement of the medicinal herb collection area, he led the crowd through the area without making a fuss. I picked up a large area of plants that had a pungent smell to bees, and when I reached the beehive, I deliberately chose an angle that just blocked the bees' flight path.
In the end, when pointing at the honeycomb to warn, Wu Qingchen's tone, expression and movements were more like encouragement than warning.
The characteristics of the herbs themselves, the irritating plants passing by on the road, the provocations blocking the route, and the words of encouragement...
Even with such multiple arrangements, the bees still did not move out, and Wu Qingchen still had further preparation plans. In short, a certain police officer or helper must be shown dedication.
Fortunately, when he reached the third beehive, Alvin, who didn't believe in evil, had already stepped forward, warding off disaster for other police officers, eliminating possible suspicion for the pastor, and by the way, making it easier to lead to police officers. There is no need for a real-time plan for the servants to be injured.
"Mercy..."
Alvin's matter is just a small trouble, no matter how well it is solved, it can't eliminate the pastor's troubles, "Now, what should we do?"
It is very troublesome without herbs, and it is still troublesome to pick herbs.
Herb, honeycomb... Herb, honeycomb...
A thought that was as "inevitable" as in "Alvin must be chased by bees" came up naturally.
However, the pastor decided to make sure first: "Loss, you just said that there are a lot of herbs next to the hive, a lot, how much is it?"
"Hmm..." Facing the empty basket on the right, Wu Qingchen made a gesture, pointing at a quarter position: "It looks like this."
The pastor's eyes lit up, and he confirmed again: "Is it a beehive?"
"Yes, a beehive." Wu Qingchen nodded with certainty.
"Then... if two beehives..."
"Two words..." Before the pastor finished speaking, Wu Qingchen pointed to the half-filled basket on the left, "It should be possible to pick so many, and it will take about half a month."
"Okay!" The pastor nodded emphatically, "Since it's not easy to pick herbs, let's pick off the beehives first!"
"Okay, master!" Wu Qingchen nodded, and then seemed to have some doubts, "How do I take it off?"
"Remove the beehive... don't you know?"
The pastor looked at Wu Qingchen strangely, how could there be a young man in Akeli village who had never seen a beehive picker before: "Fire a torch, use fresher leaves, the kind with a little more smoke, smoke it for a while, and then It can be picked."
"Ah!" Wu Qingchen exclaimed in surprise: "In this case, the bees will all fly away, or die!"
"Of course!"
It has been picking beehives like this all the time, and the pastor felt that Wu Qingchen's surprise was a bit inexplicable: "If you don't let the bees fly away, how can you pick them? Let them bite?"
"But..." Wu Qingchen's expression was full of pity: "...but... summer has just begun, if we drive away the bees now, there will be much less honey..."
Of course, Playa is very clear about this.
The honey in the honeycomb is an extremely rare and precious delicacy in the medieval world. Every honeycomb is worth protecting. When summer just begins, removing a honeycomb will inevitably mean reducing a large bowl of honey in the future.
Under normal circumstances, this must be a decision that the pastor is unwilling to make.
However, if a few beehives are removed, a few qualified cattle herders can be cultivated earlier...
The pastor believes that no matter Floran Village, Ori Village, or other commissioned training units, they should all be willing to pay a little extra.
However, there is no need to explain these words to Wu Qingchen.
"That can't be helped..." The pastor shook his head slowly, "It's too dangerous for bees to bite people... There's no way, just eat less honey..."
"Master, you are so merciful..." Wu Qingchen's eyes were misty again: "The police officers will thank you..."
"Cough...it's nothing..." At Master Praia's age, the level of flattery is not high, he waved his hand quickly to stop Wu Qingchen's flattery, "That's it, later, you can lead a few people, Go pick off two first... Well, take off three, so as not to be troublesome next time."
"But . . . sir, I think . . . "
Wu Qingchen still frowned tightly: "Keep away the bees, this is to get honey... If we just want to pick herbs, it seems that we don't have to drive away or kill the bees, we just need to move the beehive away. !… In this way, herbs can be picked again, and honeycombs that have been removed can continue to store honey... "
This is true...
The pastor finally understood the difference between the two in Wu Qingchen's imagination.
However, how is this possible
"Loss..." the pastor laughed: "You and I really know that we only need to remove the hive, but the bees don't know! As long as they get close, they will definitely bite!"
"But...but..." Wu Qingchen's expression seemed to disagree with the pastor's opinion.
"You said..." Praia's encouraging eyes appeared again.
"I don't need to tell the bees, I just cut off the branches!" Wu Qingchen replied.
"well… "
The pastor couldn't laugh or cry, "Let's not talk about whether the bees will bite you when you cut the branch... Even if you cut it off smoothly, what can you do with the honeycomb? Hang it on another tree
Speaking of this, the theology teacher began to popularize science for the reserve students: "You know, when the bees build their nests, they choose the place with the most flowers, and pick... the cut honeycombs, if you put them close, they will still be bitten by bees. Far away, there is no flower and no honey..."
"Master... Actually..." Wu Qingchen said hesitantly, "Some places are full of flowers..."
"Oh?" Playa thought for a while, but couldn't find such a place in the forest in his impression: "Is there such a place? Where is it?"
"In the allotment... now is the time for the wheat to bloom!"
"You want to hang the honeycomb in the allotment?"
"Yes, hang it in my family's allotment."
"This this… "
Praia almost admired Wu Qingchen's courage.
You know, even the children in Akeli village know clearly that bees are usually gentle, but they are really not something to mess with. Once the weather is bad, it rains and winds, or the honey in the honeycomb When there are more, these little cuties like to use the needles on their buttocks to give people who pass by a few times.
Normally, the farmers in the entire Akeli village would not dare to touch the beehives without permission, because they all belong to the property of the steward, the pastor, or the lord (the most robust and fattest beehives).
However, if such beehives appear near the allotment, the gentlemen will occasionally nod and agree to the farmers' pleas for smoking and picking in advance, so as to avoid unnecessary labor losses.
And at this moment, Wu Qingchen actually proposed to put the honeycomb in his own land. For such a whimsical imagination, and such audacious courage...
Master Praia, I really don't know whether I should admire it or laugh at it.
